Oh this is exquisitely, painfully beautiful. Nafeesa shared her poetry with us at Arvon a while ago and I’ve been meaning to get the book ever since. Inspiring and honest. @NafeesaHamid thank you.

The Shakespeare Line Project was such an exciting project to be a part of! Check out my poem at Small Heath Station, as well as other poets who have poems dotted along the Shakespeare Line that runs from Moor St, Birmingham - Stratford Upon Avon

[poetsandprattlers @pandemonialists]

The station at Small Heath is receiving a lot of tlc from the local community, and this beautiful poem from @NafeesaHamid is a valuable part of what's happening... 😎 @SLinePG @ABusinessMaker

[Stuart Bartholomew @stubartholomew]

It was such a pleasure to publish @NafeesaHamid 's incredible debut back in 2018. It really is the gift that keeps on giving. She is such a talented poet❤️

Time and time again the Police show they are hear to protect corporations, the bourgeouisie and their interests.
I was at the protest yesterday and it was nothing but peaceful. Disgusting behaviour from @WMPolice beating up peaceful protestors. 🤬
