@amonochromdream I reckon ordering is key and also using sections to separate / focus more direct trauma poems from others that underscore a unifying image or theme for the collection

Not a specific question, more of a general enquiry - in a collection peppered with a general exploration of the language of trauma, what percentage of poems is tolerable directly on trauma, and at what point do you leave aside poems for another collection?

@NatHolborow Yes, ta. Health is shit, but I’m just starting out in a new direction myself with my writing …

@amonochromdream @RhianEdwards5 @NatHolborow @raehowells Sounds like a fantastic event. Wish I didn’t live so far away …

@hanan_issa_ @hayfestival What a distressing experience. It’s no wonder you had a panic attack after that. I hope you and your husband are ok and are getting some advice about this.

Had to take some time to process the shock of this awful experience but ready to share now:
My husband and I were boarding a flight to Bogotá from Heathrow this Wednesday evening. I was due to attend and perform at the Cartagena @hayfestival

@ritakitty8 @womenwritersnet A6 Also in children's books - I have to mention The Little Princess by FHB The change from luxury to poverty is largely told through food and the lack of it, very powerfully. #womenwritersnet
English
Q6 Which women writers do you think provide a verbal feast when they write about food? Tell us what you like about their writing and/or share your favourite works by them. #WomenWritersNet
English
@RuthBadleyPR @womenwritersnet @sbennetthaber Yes, food is so linked to both nurture and self esteem
English
@sbennetthaber @womenwritersnet A2 Food features in my first book in a number of ways -it’s a memoir and my dad was a chef.. but my mum struggled with that. Food was an expression of love that could also damage fragile self-esteem. #womenwritersnet

The warmest thanks to Sian for making this such a life affirming experience, and with much gratitude to @Tomtheactor for producing, and encouraging me to think of it as a story whose telling might also change lives. 💞
