I broke down in tears when I learned I'd be a recipient of the Open Fund for Individuals. It changed my life, it led to my debut novel's completion, representation and publication. Because of this fund, my book - my career - exists. Now, no one else will get the same chance.

Enjoy a glass of wine, sit back and let the words reach you from poets and writers with roots in Gaelic, Irish, English, Tamil, and Ukrainian. Confirmed writers include: Rebecca Ferrier, Iryna Kupchynska , @padraigmacaoidh, Eoin P. Ó Murchú 🇵🇸, and Q , with more to follow.

I spent summers visiting my grandparents in the Highlands a stone's throw from here. This event, with such beautiful company, will feel like a homecoming ❤️✨️

My The Bridport Prize poem, 'Prayer w/o Punctuation', is Highly Commended in this year's Forward Prizes. Being included in this anthology with these poets is wild (?), affirming (?), surreal (?), final feeling tbd. Mostly, I'm excited and eager to celebrate the book as a whole.

Gutted to hear the news about Summerhall, both for the arts in general - for which SH is such a hub of innovation and creativity - and for PTBO more immediately. The team there have pulled together a brilliant programme of poets big and small; I so hope they get to present it.

Had a blast at Cheltenham Festivals for the Dialogue Publishing Renegade Proof Party! And I held my book in printed form for the first time! A gorgeous discussion about light and dark in our stories, balancing humour and humanity, with the lovely Grace Flahive and Piotr Cieplak
