A poem about time I spent living in Ireland has made it out into the world thanks to @River_Heron .
I spent a difficult year in a remote farmhouse on the Atlantic coast.
Got to also shout out to @pascalepoet in whose workshop this poem was born

I wrote a poem about lawnmowers - and @SeafordReview kindly published it in their fantastic literary publication.
Massive thanks to the editing team for choosing my work.

Got a poem in the latest issue of @ShooterLitMag . As a working class woman who came to writing in her mid-50s & who largely writes about s*x in some way - seeing my writing in the lofty halls of a literary magazine feels like a major achievement:)

I cannot imagine a Midlands poetry scene without @badbettypress - they’ve changed aspirations & expectations outside of London, their workshops have allowed me to produce not only some of my best work but to face fears, and they’ve grown community.
Support if you can …
