Because Books Breed Empathy. We have always loved books, now we will publish books. We love those voices under-represented in current publishing.

To lose oneself is a joy but to lose yourself on a journey without a satnav is a calamity.
She wondered how people managed without technology and remembered her grandmother’s love of ordinance survey maps.

We’re at @WaterstonesPicc and @ignatius_sancho is warming up the crowds on the pavement 🔥

Reading is important at all times & in a moment of respectful reflection on a great national and international loss then context is key. Going to my personal library this morning I’ve listed a few novelists who’ve been key to my early understanding of colonialism and empire.

Me and the boss ⁦@LennyHenry⁩ at the My Name is LEON screening last night. That canapé was delicious by the way …

There are days, like today, when I surrender to a dreamy
free-floating sadness.

Origins uncertain.

Joy in not fighting this unbidden feeling.

I got my mourning
Over with some time ago.
She’d already gone

But she’d just - not gone.
Just empty vessels; her of
Thought, and me of her.

What have we lost
In the last two years?
Normality?

What have we gained
In the last six months?
The novelty of
Normality

Just back from a live poetry reading. The first for two years. Good, but strange.
