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.
'Notes from a Pandemic' project in partnership with @BhamCityCouncil@healthybrum and Birmingham Stories.
@NafeesaHamid's excellent response to the pandemic, plus resources for schools, is here 👇

Happy Publication Day to
POEMS OF THE DECADE 2011-2020: AN ANTHOLOGY OF THE FORWARD BOOKS OF POETRY
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
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
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❤️
This Saturday from 2:30pm, @sabbakhan_, debut author of graphic memoir THE ROLES WE PLAY, will be in conversation with @roodhissou for the next #BeyondBooks (in person!) event 😁 Register here: https://t.co/rZQ5IetA9b
There’s been so much praise for #TheRolesWePlay (& rightly so!). Love this from @ZebaTalk! There’s so much to unpack in this book, from @sabbakhan_’s life experiences & journeys to the most beautiful illustrations. #BeyondBooks https://t.co/rGV5sqYJxi
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. 🤬
