'I can experience something I call the “trembling of speech.” I learn of meanings that can be hiding in those texts and about which I didn’t have the faintest idea. I realise the poem does not belong to me... it is a living space belonging to the person reading it at the moment'

Review of my fourth poetry collection 'Woof! Woof! Woof!' in The Bottle Imp by Matthew Macdonald. Interesting and pretty good review. There are mistakes in the quote from 'Year of the Rat' but you can have fun working out what it's meant to be😀. https://t.co/9fGmY63e0M

[Jayant Kashyap: NOTES ON BURIALS out now! @jaydkash]

What an honour to be mentioned alongside @robamackenzie1, @maithreyikarnoor, @betarish, @emilycotterill, @poetryhilary and brilliant others by @zoebrigley! It was a very lovely reading last night: the weather outside was cold(ish), the poetry was warm.
