Excited to announce that my poem was selected as a finalist for the Leonard Cohen Poetry Prize! Thanks to the readers and editors @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social for publishing this piece.

Poems shouldn't be the first thoughts that come into your head or fall onto the paper. They should be the last thoughts, the ones you arrive at after long, sometimes painful sculpting, but they should look as though they came to you in a moment, fresh and clear. #poetry #amwriting 💙📚

Pow! Took a bit of a gamble today with a jaunt up to Upper Teesdale, not expecting too much if truth be told. But even a handful of these was enough to make the journey worthwhile. 📸 Spring Gentian (Gentiana verna) #botany #wildflowerhour

We love the library! #nationallibraryweek

Not had the strength to do much art this year, but just finished a little pen drawing done freehand on translucent paper you might like to see. Kingfisher from a reference by Helen White with kind permission. #kingfisher #birdart #chronicart #nature #bird #gelpens #wildlifeart #art #disabledartist

I wish to make a complaint. Oh yes? This picture book you've written is too funny. It is? It was supposed to be gentle #humour I hurt my funny bone! Sorry. And you broke the fourth wall. Possibly also the fifth. I like #meta books. And there were too many puns. Impossible! #unhingedpit #PB

LOVE, ACTUALLY X Winnie-the-Pooh Wow so it's like Hugh Grant falls for Piglet? Errm, no. The cast are BASED on the WTP characters. It's like LA cos it's an ensemble romcom. So Hugh Grant isn't in it? No. But one of the heroes has floppy hair. Cool! #Q #unhingedpit #A #R #hu #dis

Gnomes on the loose! #UnhingedPit #MG Funny #C #Hu #Fu #Ad #Q #puns

For Sale: One hilariously deluded Jersey cow starring in her own chapter book #CB with series potential. Slightly dented but vgc. One careful middle-aged #kidlit #amwriting disabled lady owner. All serious offers considered as there is only so much manure you can put on roses. #UnhingedPit #Q

Love, Actually X Winnie-the-Pooh X Ground Force A motley bunch of tenants discover a neglected garden next to their tower block. As they tend it back to life, it might return the favour, teaching them the power of faith, friendship, hard work, love and begonias. #Cupit #RIR #CR #IR #A #RC #HA #ECO

Arabian Nights X Prince of Thorns Makin can have whatever he wants, he's a supreme ruler. But when he is consumed by a desire to be loved, he can crush or be crushed. Can Huma the songbird slave girl live long enough to bring him redemption? #Cupit #DR #A #Fable #Novella #RIR #IR
