I had a ball launching 'dance as if' @vervepoetrypress.bsky.social at The Edge of the World Bookshop in Penzance. Joelle Taylor calls 'dance as if' 'a radical relearning of the skin and bones of us. The poetry is alive and in constant movement.' www.vervepoetrybookshop.com/product-page...

I'm on BBC Countryfile's Plodcast www.countryfile.com/podcast
I talk about how I got into poetry, coming from a working-class background, how I write, my love of Penzance & Cornwall, & writing on difficult subjects.

Heading home from a 2week writing residency on a tiny island in the Arctic Circle in Norway. I saw the Northern Lights, which I hadn't expected. The sea was warmer than I'd hoped for. I met fab people, developed a love of saunas & wrote tons of island-related poems, hoping some will be half-decent.

Travelling in Norway, on my way to a residency on a small island in the Arctic Circle. Feeling very lucky to be doing this.
