The second book from @bebeashley.bsky.social is published in June by @bansheepress.bsky.social. It charts the poet's attempt to become a sign language interpreter and weaves together words, language, communication, the physical and the ephemeral. Two short extracts below⬇️

Today has unexpectedly become a very exciting day! The digital proof of Harbour Doubts has made its way to shore! 🚣‍♀️ On this readthrough, I'm so grateful for all the people who have helped make this book happen!
2025 is going to be such a special year!

I’ve told Lily it’s her turn to write the next 3,000 words

Holding onto social media as tightly as Lily and Merlin hold onto each other and hoping that good things can come of it again!

Can’t quite believe how beautiful this apartment and studio is and that I’ll get to spend two weeks here in Spoleto working on absolutely everything and anything. ✨

Happy new year! I am hoping to be more intentional this year and am bringing back journaling! Hopefully a cat stamp a day filled with thought. ✨

What nobody warned me about bullet journalling was that I would have an overwhelming desire to rip out every page with the slightest mistake on (which is so far every page).

Feeling Van Gogh 🎨 So grateful for the opportunity to explore different tactile reproduction techniques and enjoy a personal tour of some collection highlights!

2024 will be a better year for having more poetry in it! Thanks to my friends for sharing their work with me. I’m excited to post these across the island.

A whole day of using my brain, and now, no better evening plans than sitting close to the fire & reading.

I never remember to bring work with me to show people even though I love talking about it! Here’s a carry-on friendly frame for Finland 🇫🇮

Today, I’ve reached 2020 in the ‘Lived Experience’ part of my PhD. Grateful to at least have the comfort of this view as I begin to even try explaining the impact the pandemic had (and continues to have) on this work and the world.

1500 words and a photoshoot a day keeps the editors at bay

The universe works in the strangest of ways! A big house with eight total strangers in working across different artforms and it turns out two of you share the same publisher! So fun to finally meet @dylanbrennan.bsky.social in person!

Once again in awe that this* is my actual life ✨
*writing and having people believe in my writing so much that they send me on residencies in a location that wouldn’t be amiss in Poirot

My brain is so full and yet all I want to think of is designing a line of merch for poets

I forgot the phrase compilation disk when describing a recent powerballads album and instead referred to it as an anthology of songs and noises
