BOOKINGS ARE NOW LIVE for my immersive bat walk and poetry performance at Regent’s Park on 2nd September! This event is in collaboration with @theroyalparks.bsky.social as part of the Help Nature Thrive project 🦇🦇🦇 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pipistrell...

I could’ve posted any poem from my pamphlet for International Women’s Day. It’s angry (rightfully so, considering the lives of women in Sudan, Afghanistan, Gaza, America, here, all over the world), but I have chosen a poem of hope — I want to create a better world for the women who come after us.

A photo of page 22 from my pamphlet ‘woman | folk’ laid on a hessian cloth with a white lace border on the left hand. The poem text reads:

woman: free

here at the edges      you
wait                 ocean reaching
for the shore                spray turning
skin to      salt & glitter
 
one day           you dip            a toe
in sirensong              & it feels           
so good                       next day
you lower                    your whole self
 
naked               into stinging
surf       & marvel          at the way                
it holds you        the way no one
ever has           marvel
 
at the way water is            
a soft     question      pebbled into dark
the way          your own body         
has always been
 
the answer ]
