Congratulations to editors Dr Jo Clement & Tahmina Ali & all the poets for the launch of the Thresholds poetry anthology at last week's NCLA event - a great atmosphere & one of the busiest poetry events I have been to. I also managed to get a haul of Butcher's Dog Publishing issues!

So thrilled to be one of the 2024 James Berry Poetry Prize winners, and to publish my debut collection with Bloodaxe Books in 2026! I loved hearing the shortlisted and commended poets read last night. And I’m so pleased to win alongside Clementine and Nadine El-Enany ❤️
