BTS:
• This was one of the last poems I wrote for the book.
• I *agonised* over the word choice for “reminisced”.
• I wrote this poem as a challenge to myself: could I write a coming-of-age poem in exactly fifty words? (Spot the tropes!)

🐚 Happy 1st Anniversary to “A Passing On of Shells”, published on this day in 2023.
The last year has been the most adventure-filled of my life. It has also been the most exhausting. And I am very grateful for it.

Happy #NationalPoetryDay from this exhausted poet. x
I hope you’ve had a delicious day, however you’ve spent it.
Me? I’ve been poeting in the most fantastic of schools with the most fantastic of students: @Greshams_School.
@PoetryDayUK @Scallywagpress #APassingOnOfShells
I’m in Norfolk – a long way from home – and still flying the flag for the power and the beauty of poetry in (I hope) a joyous and unexpected way.
Thank you to the students and staff of Beeston Hall School for a gorgeous Day Before #NationalPoetryDay event!
#APassingOnOfShells
That was us, celebrating at @theweekjunior Book Awards. It didn’t win on the night, but what an honour for us to have had our book noticed.
So grateful to this team for the journey to publication and beyond.
