Mædwe is officially out in the world! With thanks to Andrew and Sophie @salopress.bsky.social, to my lovely endorsers Sophia Argyris and Tom Branfoot, and also to the journals who first published some of the poems (see acknowledgements photo!)

A poem Salt Bride from my ninth collection, Beast, published by @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social last April, inspired by the sculpture Salt Bride by Sigalit Landau. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and read and who invited me to their venues and festivals — it took five years to write.

Had a great time on The Verb today!

Me being utterly astonished at the beauty of the work in Zain Rishi’s pamphlet Noon published by The Emma Press. It’s well worth reading.

Happy days on The Verb!
