@JamieYourdon On Monday 22nd Feb at 5pm I'm performing some of my poetry in How Poets See the World with Brian Whittingham as part of @BookPaisley Paisley's new book festival which is online this year. I'm reading alongside Jim Ferguson, Basia Palka, and Sean McMenemy.

A big shout out to our very talented tech support Mark Cunningham. He's worked with ten Fierce women. He deserves a medal. Please say hi to him in the chat during our New-topia event starting in 40mins. @BookPaisley

A Fierce word is one of empowerment. A word that gets you through dark times, this time. My Fierce word for our New-topia event @BookPaisley is the Gaelic word for river. It keeps moving. Join us at 9.30pm 18th Feb Free but ticketed renfrewshireboxoffice.ticketsolve.com/shows/11736067…

Like Kapka Kassabova and Kathleen Jamie the Indian writer, Saima Afreen poetic background is evident in her narrative non-fiction writing. Here she reflects on the effect Covid-19 has had on India and her life. inversejournal.com/.../a-sketch-o… @BookPaisley renfrewshireboxoffice.ticketsolve.com/.../1173606...
