I loved Natalie’s pamphlet. Great to see a full collection from Natalie Whittaker

Still time to get 25% off new @BrokenSleepBooks releases, including my pamphlet ‘Cupid, Grown’ (nudge nudge…) I also just picked up Natalie Whittaker’s ‘The Point is You’re Still Alive’ after hearing her read from it, which also on sale!

The earliest poem in this collection was written in 2012, the most recent in 2024... two pamphlets and twelve years later this book is in the world - The Point Is You Are Alive! Broken Sleep Books


Lovely to see my Broken Sleep Books collection The Point Is You Are Alive included in the round up of books published this year by The London Library Emerging Writers Programme alumni, alongside fellow #ignitionpress poet Isabelle Baafi 📚
