My first public poetry collection is now available to buy (the colour on the back cover image is far from accurate but at least the copy’s readable). If ya liked my stuff at all you may enjoy it. It’s genuinely been a labour of love. Get it here https://t.co/6FdfNC11Fq
I'm truly overwhelmed by the kindness of both friends and strangers here. I wish I could reply to every message but know that I've seen them all and they mean the world to me. And to those sharing their own losses: I'm so sorry, you're all in my thoughts. Lana (@LanaBeckwith) xxx

"We’ve been reassured that the government has successfully secured contracts for 30 million doses of flu vaccine. Given the recent governmental track record—many GPs are feeling less than confident" @HelenRSalisbury https://t.co/nxRLgm5ejN
All technical refinements depress me. The perfection of photography, the big screens, the stereo sound, all of it makes possible a servile reproduction of nature; & that reproduction bores me. The artist's personality interests me more than the copying of an object.
