A wonderful surprise to see that, due to recent interest and demand, my @vpresspoetry pamphlet '(m)othersongs' has just gone to a fourth print run – two years after publication! Get 'em while they're hot... ❤️‍🔥🍂❤️‍🔥

V. v. excited to have another new print run of @PoetSarahDoyle’s beautiful (m)othersongs in time for Christmas. It’s rare to do a new run 2 years after publication & this may well be the last, so get a copy while you still can! vpresspoetry.blogspot.com/p/mothersongs.…

This took courage, and makes me feel very vulnerable, but here I share some insights into how the recent Laika situation played out for me – along with a plea for more compassionate social media engagement, for all of us. thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar… If useful: archive.is

I have found this whole episode incredibly distressing and isolating, so I'm grateful to see Rory Waterman's analysis shine a light on both the poetry and the poison. Whatever your views, we need a more courteous and humane public discourse, from and for all parties. Please.

My comment, for PN Review, on the Len Pennie and Sarah Doyle affair - or Canongagegate, as I like to think of it. Honourable mentions: @naushsabah, @thetimes. Feel free to share, or to attack me with your little jelly pitchforks, or to ignore. pnreview.co.uk/archive/remark…

Remember that poem that was so emotionally taxing, it took me three years to write and edit? I'm so pleased (if feeling a little vulnerable) it has found the perfect home in this vital new anthology about care-giving. Thanks to eds Charley & Claire for your compassionate reading.

A lovely Friday job, sending out acceptances for mine and @ClaireWpoetry's upcoming anthology around the craft of caregiving, forthcoming this year. It's been such an honour to read the submissions that we were gifted with. A huge thank you to everyone who shared their work.
