I'm super grateful Doughnuts, Thieves And Chimpanzees has been nominated for a Carnegie Medal For Writing. It's a small book with big ideas. Fizzing with encouragement, fun and collaboration. I'm so glad it's being enjoyed. Diolch! @FireflyPress @CarnegieMedals

Incredible honour to perform last night at Dylan Thomas’s birthplace on what would be his 110th birthday, with the gorgeous @LauraSheldon76. Such a lovely warm welcome and @BHHillustration was incredibly engaging- her images are honestly mind blowing.

Poetry Pharmacy 🚑💊📚🇪🇺
We've come a long way since my little pharmacy of poetry pills under the awning of the Emergency Poet ambulance back in 2012. I'd give them away in those days at festivals, schools, libraries, conferences. Now we have our little production Lab here in BC. #poetryonprescription

@SarahPerssonYes Another brilliant poem, Sarah. I think this should be a regular Sunday service. Their weeping will be apple leaves…

I am really NOT cut out to be the mother of an athlete… nail-biting stuff watching the live scores of the university surf comp and I’m not even there. Good win though (completely undeserved mum-pride)! Back to the editing now @Rebecca_Writer I’m on it.

@LauraSheldon76 So hard at this age! We were in agony when our 22-year old son went off to Uni. (He’s now back at home!)

@Al_Humphreys Not all of us… some of us become performance poets in our 40s and run away to spend the night in creepy pubs and go straight up hills solo. The older I get the more I want to do the scary stuff.

As adults, we rarely learn fresh skills or dare ourselves to change direction. We urge our children to be bold risk-takers and encourage them to try things like learning musical instruments. But us grown-ups? We hide behind the way we’ve always done things. We become so boring!
