I’m going to be at @edfringe for two weeks in the second half of August (including a week with @LOTLmusical, please come see it) - would love to meet with any writers/directors/creative people generally for a coffee and chat!!
I had the privilege of reviewing @kafkaeatsbabka’s debut pamphlet ‘Cataclysm’ and wrote about this thrilling experience in @ft_lighthouse. You can read all about it here ftlighthouse.org/issue-five-non… My endless thanks to Natalie for the opportunity to review such incredible poetry!
Such a fantastic charity and we are so proud to support it!
looking forward to zooming into Durham next week. See you there

I have written (in a personal not departmental capacity) to the Acting Vice-Chancellor about events at South College.
facts, I’ve been following the incidents at South College pretty closely + I didn’t even know that there was also a racist tirade until recently? barely mentioned in the statements by ‘intersectional’ student associations. why aren’t POC at Durham Uni receiving the same support?
Christmas reads: unlocked
Musing about my love for Christmas and cats in @indigodu @PalatinateUK 🐱🎄 Also available to read online: palatinate.org.uk/eve/
I don't usually weigh in here on these kinds of things, but if I'd paid for a Christmas meal with my mates and a racist arsehole that I didn't know would be there started making a speech, I would walk out.
