I was delighted to be involved in this amazing project... Poem I created youtu.be/ID8cOEY3EbE The Mere Singers: The Hum of the Hive: youtu.be/N1wOZDisP0o

Delighted to have worked with composer Michael Betteridge and Mere Singers on this amazing project. The Mere Singers: The Hum of the Hive: youtu.be/N1wOZDisP0o Poem: youtu.be/ID8cOEY3EbE

Make your day better. Watch this.

Treat yourself.

Modern civilised societies don't let people sleep on the streets. My interview with BBC London on the urgent need for rent controls.

Treat yourself to a bit of Mere Singers. A song composed by Michael Betteridge using words from a poem that was created by way of a collaboration between myself and the singers during workshops. It's gorgeous. youtube.com/watch?v=N1wOZD…

Babby Jaysus, ay it.

It is a marvellous collection of wonderful poetry and art for kids. I am immeasurably proud of our poets and artists and I shout about it at every available opportunity (and thank the contributors for sharing the work). Happy for other media outlets to do the same. JH x #JAR

Last few signed books from a great Wolverhampton Literature Festival 2025 available in store! Once again it was a great pleasure to be involved in events in the city. Huge thanks to festival organisers & volunteers, all the venues & their staff, the writers & performers & all who came to an event📚

It's always a joy to perform at a well run, packed out poetry event, and yesterday's Words on the Wall in Hexham was exactly that. Huge thanks to Joe williams for inviting myself and Emma Purshouse Poet up to read. We had a blast! 😊

Today was a good day. I finally met and interviewed Suzi Perry at the unveiling of a blue plaque for the Lafayette Club, a music club in Wolverhampton between 1968 and 1982. Wolverhampton royalty and a class act.

At 18.00 on Wednesday the 11th of June celebrated poet and author Emma Purshouse (Emma Purshouse Poet) will be appearing at Gornal Library. We'd like to thank the Friends of Gornal Library for helping to make this happen. To book onto this session please contact Gornal Library
