I have a poem called 'Diatom Pest (R) is Good for You' published in Warepeople magazine, an online literary magazine celebrating London’s warehouse community. This poem was written in a workshop hosted in a warehouse, prompted by an object found there.

First, ‘A Winter War’. Appropriately chilly for the season, and it’s the start of a trilogy that is my love letter to the books of Rosemary Sutcliff. Romans, Sarmatians, a battle on the ice, fire forged friendship and Amazonian warrior women.

@TimLeachWriter Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, Chapter 7 'The NPC' - never has a book taken such a turn, such a change of pace that had me with my heart in my mouth the whole time.
A few weeks ago, we launched a short series for @theipaper, asking writers to reflect on the books they return to most often. I have been completely floored by the writing, ideas, sadness, humour and joy. Here is a thread of all the pieces. Happy reading in 2023 🧵
