What a joy it was to be the Poetry Mentor for University of Westminster’s literature festival this year. It was wonderful get to know the wonderful students I mentored and to get stuck into their poems, editing and all that good stuff!

Sat on this one for a while: I have TWO poems in this month’s POETRY Magazine 🌟 still feels like a dream Here’s one, in conversation with Frank O’Hara about my beloved Norfolk, Virginia, how it’s changing and being changed. What blooms despite. poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine…

🎊 On the exhibition’s last day on Sunday, join us in the heart of Tate Britain for poetic and musical responses featuring writer Roger Robinson, poet and musician Kobi Ayensuo, and alternative jazz singer and ASCENDING SOULSTRESS muva of Earth. 🥁📌🧶 bit.ly/3IXgyFS

The first ever outing of the new work “The Procession” in response to Huw Locke’s incredible installation Tate was a complete vibe. This beautiful pic is reposted from @xaya_to. Very much enjoyed the other artists also Kobi Ayensuo and #muvaofearth . #new #work #exhibits

It's moments like this that remind me why I do what I do, performed at Tate Britain last week, and for me it was performing alongside mentor and great Roger Robinson, alongside @muvaofearth and but it was also the process; fr I'm finding my voice as an artist more everyday

Excited to read all your work!

Today, 6th March, is Ghana’s Independence Day. We are behind Kobi Ayensuo, our new Editing Intern, as they and many others gather to protest against the country’s anti-LGBTQ+ bill. Read their poem ‘The Year of Return’, connected to this subject, here. inksweatandtears.co.uk/welcome-kobi-e…

I hope people understand now that it’s unethical to support any new harry potter media. people tried to explain this when the hogwarts game came out and no one wanted to hear it. any money in joanne’s pocket funds anti-trans lobbying.

Idk about you but this put a huge smile on my face
