Starting my summer reading with Dream Logic by Satya Bosman (the wonderful editor over at @blackcatpress.bsky.social) ☀️ Some absolutely cracking concrete poetry alongside beautifully surreal pieces! 🥚🥄

It was wonderful to be in the audience for the launch of @clairewalkerpoetry.bsky.social’s brilliant new pamphlet, ‘How to Shape Our Mouths’, yesterday. Claire was in conversation with @drruthstacey.bsky.social and it was so interesting to hear more about the influences behind the pamphlet, 🧵

Poetry post! So looking forward to reading ‘Arboreal’ @corinnaboard.bsky.social and ‘The Water Knows I Love You’ @blackcatpress.bsky.social 💚
