When #transportforlondon put this poem in the tube, every day I’d receive messages about the poem calming anxiety. That’s the reason that I write, to be in service. Get the Black History Month handout that begins with this poem on the tube with lots of great Black British Poets

Sorry to miss this at the time @Kim_Squirrell! What a lovely description of the creative lifecycle of your work with Out of Bounds. And great to hear about the OU. The work keeps spinning!

@AbbeyHeffer Fab! I love it when books gain a life outside the intimacy of writer and reader. I was part of the @OoBPoetry anthology that became a digital project with touring poets then a British Library exhibitions teaching pack an archive and lately got my poem onto the OU syllabus.
