Reading the ā€˜Sixty Women Poets’ anthology ed. by Linda France (1993). It’s brilliantly hopeful. This Fleur Adcock is a great reminder to keep moving forward

I am absolutely devastated to hear about the death of Benjamin Zephaniah. When I think of him, I think of how inspiring his words have been for young people. He did so much for children's education. What a brilliant human. He will be missed by so many.

Couple of new episodes up! This week I talked about magical realism in poetry, with a particular focus on the abhuman (an awesome word from the Gothic)

New episode of the podcast is up today. I read a poem and excerpt from an essay by Louise Glück, and suggest a poetry prompt influenced by her work. She has had a huge impact on my writing and I hope this episode speaks to that.

This week’s podcast episode came out Thursday! The writing prompt is inspired by Joelle Taylor’s theory of poetry as cinema. Plus I’ve included a tip from Elizabeth Bishop and a poem by Vicki Feaver - all in less than 10 minutes! Thanks to all who have listened 🄰
