This was a lovely boost at the start of 2025! Thank you to The Guardian and David Wheatley for spotlighting ‘SWELL’ in their best new poetry roundup on 3 January. It means the world to see my collection in there and it’s already connected me with loads of lovely new people.

Here I am, reading my poem ‘Pomegranate’ from the author copies that were on my doorstep when I arrived home after Christmas.

You can see me on the road at the following events!
