Strong hunch that @Audrey_Molloy's forthcoming book is going to be brilliant.
Thrilled to receive my copy of Poetry Ireland Review 146 in the post today with its stunning cover art by Stephen Johnston. Much gratitude to guest editor Stephen Sexton for including 'Contagion', the closing poem of my forthcoming collection 'Fallen' - out very soon....!

In a state of grateful overwhelm about this, to be honest. Just the biggest thanks to @Poetry_London and to @VKennefick. It means such a lot to be read by people I admire so hugely.
Lastly, it is an absolute privilege to announce that the winner of the 2025 Poetry London Prize is Rachel Curzon (@Rachel__Curzon) for her poem ‘There are enough poems about birds, and here is another one’

Oh, Allan...
Goes without saying that "Peepo" by Janet and Allan Ahlberg is the unsurpassed masterpiece of baby and toddler literature, and if you can get to the end without choking up then you're doing better than me.
