We had to do a blackout poem for this one

[fourteenpoems @fourteenpoems]

We’ll be chatting with @davidm_govern on Tues 30th about their self care poem The Bath Salts, in which we’re asked to look at using sex, connections + physicality as a form of shame-free care. Plus a 2nd poem and a 3rd fave. Come join! 6pm, 30.05 over at https://t.co/KtvfAtfft8
