It’s National Poetry Day so one feels obliged to post something ‘poetic’, yet I’ve barely written or published any poetry this year. But I have co-run an ACE-funded project, edited an anthology & championed the work of queer crip poets, shining a spotlight on voices so often marginalised.

A librarian’s pilgrimage to the old British Library Reading Room. One of the advantages of being old is that I got to study in here when I moved to London to do my Masters. 🤓📚

I’m so behind on my TBR pile that I’ve only now discovered this lovely review of MotherFlux in the Winter 2024 edition of the Poetry Book Society Bulletin! Huge thanks to Shalini Sengupta for reading us, Nine Pens for publishing us and Erica and Jem for all the MotherFluxing words. 💜

Mostly written in the Spring, but set in Autumn, I never imagined that my chapbook Solitary Hotel, which explores grief, loneliness and isolation, would foretell how this September is turning out. For James. R.I.P. 💔✊🏾 Audio version free with copies bought direct from me: jp-seabright.square.site
