I’m very excited to share that on 20th June I’ll have a new book out!

It’s a literary memoir, published by Bloomsbury, and I’m having a launch at Wrecking Ball Music and Books on Saturday 29th June!

Event details below - be lovely to see you there 😊

@philascough Happy birthday, Phil 🎈

[Vicky Foster @vickyfoster_]

I’m so looking forward to this on Saturday. There’ll be birdsong, mindfulness, conversations about form, language, imagery, voice and identity. Plus some of my favourite bird poems & a bonus song about a pigeon. 4 hours together, so we can really get some work done. Price = FREE.

@angus_young61 @_SalmanAnwar I’d like to know, seeing as he’s my local councillor now 👀

[Vicky Foster @vickyfoster_]

@angus_young61 Really enjoyed this, Angus. Weird that we've both written about Karl Turner looking like he's had an encounter with Banquo's ghost! For two of us to have had the same thought, doesn't seem like a good sign...

Been A LOT of talk about tactical voting in these local elections. I ❤️ a good spreadsheet so I’ve made this - tactical voting advice vs results. Rows in green are where the tactical voting advice was right…

We’ve got to do it all again next year, so think on.

@hedonharpy77863 Thanks!

I couldn’t be at Jacko’s funeral today, but when I heard people had lined Newland Ave this afternoon as his cortège passed by, it made me want to write a poem…

[Vicky Foster @vickyfoster_]

@philascough Ah thanks Phil. Sounds like an amazing send off for an amazing man.

[Vicky Foster @vickyfoster_]

@angus_young61 Thanks Angus!

[Vicky Foster @vickyfoster_]

@angus_young61 Is there any way to ask for this to be investigated prior to elections?

This wonky-headed lamppost on the pier, and the pretty pool of light it still casts.
