From my upcoming collection, I Am Not Light, with @blackboughpoems here is the video for ‘Grief Therapist’. “Put hemlock in the teapot…” Disclaimer for sensitive content - connotations of self-harm.

This @TopTweetTuesday I am running about the moors (really!) but here are some poetry books I'm loving!

This is on my tbr pile and though I can't review it now. I can tell you that it will be good. I just know it will because Lou is amazing. Watch this @TopTweetTuesday space for future reviews and take a look at purchasing the work! @LouLouMach 🥰 @blackboughpoems 🌟

@TopTweetTuesday my reviews have slowed down a bit! 😅 But these wonderful books are still in my review pile, either read and awaiting review or to read over the summer. @lozzawriting @PaulDragonwolf1 @LouLouMach Please check out the book by Batool Abu Akleen (Tenement) (1/2)

Catch me reading in Edinburgh tomorrow evening - very much looking forward to it!

For @TopTweetTuesday here’s my recommended reading! No review as I’m on my way to sunny Scotland, but all of these collections are fab and if you haven’t read them, you should! ❤️ @RegineEbner @leiabellebutler @taylorhamannlos @brokensleep @Grizonne @niaandthepoems @DaraghFleming
