Earlier this month I collaborated with clothing brand SunSong of Scotland on a beautiful campaign inspired by the Scottish landscape, for which I wrote three poems in response: / rock / sand / skin /. Poems + photos below!

Beautiful words this morning on the @intocreative.bsky.social website on my poem “Does My Father Cry”. A careful and thoughtful reading of it. He writes on many other poems on the site too: www.intocreative.co.uk/nazaret-rane...

Does My Father Cry? by Nazaret Ranea

Does My Father Cry? Does my father cryin the deep night,when the house is silentand he stretches out in bed,unsure if the creakingcomes from the mattressor from himself? Does he cryleaning on the rail...

Really happy to see my name in The Telegraph this morning as one of this year’s Poetry Competition Highly Commended poets. Huge congratulations to the winner and the shortlisted poets 💛 This year’s theme was Mothers, which I explored in my poem The Phonetics of Love

As 2025 comes to an end, here are some highlights from my year. A year of learning, sharing poetry, and finding community. Being able to celebrate the wins of poets and friends I love, and to make space for each other in an industry with so little support and so much talent 🤍

Thanks to @poetrylondon.bsky.social for publishing my poem En la Meseta / On the Tableland in their Autumn Issue. It’s always such a treat to see the two versions appear side by side, letting readers experience the poem in both Spanish and English 💛💚

A really special evening reading from Nettles at the SPL! Felt so supported by my fellow Young Makars and a really lovely audience. Huge thanks to @byleaveswelive.bsky.social, and to everyone who came along 💚

Still buzzing that one of my favourite stories I’ve written found a home in the coolest mag 🦷
