I shared poems from my three collections yesterday at Frome Festival. All of them look at legacies of British transatlantic enslavement. The all-white audience were so open & receptive. One of them said I ‘bought light to a dark subject’. Job done. 🦋
To celebrate our Summer Sessions this week, and our literary journals showcase on Wednesday evening, we have a range of local journals on sale in the building throughout the week.
Including: The Stinging Fly, The Wild Umbrella, Ragaire, The Storms, Sci-FI Ireland, & Profiles!
Delighted to be performing my poetry @Frome_Festival on July 7th. I’ll be talking about poetic alchemy, and how words changed my life. Hope to see you there.🦋
Thanks, Hattie, but I’m going to work on the poem and submit somewhere. I do have three collections with Indigo Dreams Publishing. And I’m performing at the Frome Festival on July 7th if that’s any interest? 🦋

Today I woke up. Read poems. Had a short think. Wrote a poem that came from nowhere. It’s almost fully-formed which is always a trip. Any other early morning inspiration out there? 🦋

I'm going to #Ireland in July to take part in 2 events on Poetry and Community. It's suddenly struck me how poignant that is at this time. Can Poetry help? Is it all we have? Details of events below.

@JennyMitchellGo X is so random! I am still locked out of my FTW account, which was hacked and taken over by some weird gambling bots, and @X isn't listening to me. I hope you are ok x
Thanks, Bronwen. I heard about the scandal on Front Row. Have you heard extracts of the piece? It sounds okay to begin with, then something happens to boggle the brain.
