Beautiful wonderful!
Sound system at Usher Hall failed during the King Creosote gig - and it turned into such a brilliant and one of a kind performance. Imagine performing to 2000 in a huge venue with no mic - it was captivating. Wonderful and brave stuff.
Beautiful to be able to respond to the last minute opportunity to take up a place on a writing retreat at @moniackmhor with the outstandingly generous, gracious & brilliant poet tutors @hannahlowepoet & @BlueBirdTail All, in this great insistence of light!
I feel so fortunate to be stowed within friendships founded & forged across the search for ways to speak the world we are living; develop meaning & empathy, imagine a plurality of possibilities @dizzylynn is one of the best companions through it all ❤️ #poetry
