I have last minute mentoring availability in June & July. 'Rebecca has the sharpest ear for a dud note and she always knows if a poem of mine is holding something back. I got a lot better and more truthful thanks to her.' rebeccagoss.wordpress.com/tutoring/

‘I too keep rocks in my stomach, small and quiet’ I’m loving Katy Mack’s new pamphlet ‘First, I Turn Off the Light’ (Broken Sleep Books). Intricate, energetic and beautiful writing. AND the Brontës - the Emily poems are a sequence after my own heart ❤️

‘and it pounds / and it pounds’… mental disquiet, hauntings, a heron, & moving Emily Brontë-inspired pieces make ‘First, I Turn Off the Light’ by Katy Mack from Broken Sleep Books a powerful, brave & brilliant pamphlet.

A brilliant offer! There are so many amazing titles to choose from Broken Sleep Books - and alongside Fiona Larkin @fionalarkin.bsky.social's own brilliant work, there's also some real gems from Jack Solloway and Hannah Copley, which are amongst my favorites 🙌

So happy to see the hard work of the talented young participants of Speaking Solidarity come to life. It's been an amazing process putting this project together - a huge thank you to Maria Jastrzebska School of Media, Arts and Humanities Arts and Humanities Research Council. Check out the poetry installation Brighton Museums🌈🙌

This summer I was commissioned to write a poem for this wonderful project devised by Katy Mack & work with young people in Sussex who created fantastic collaborative responses to it. You can hear them through a magic conch and add your own responses!

I have a piece up for The Bookseller today, in which I consider how major publishers can create space for the small presses that keep the literary scene afloat. thebookseller.com/comment/what-b…
