Last night, a fabulous #erasurepoetry workshop with Jeremy Pak Nelson at Saan1 in Manchester, organised by Fuse, a 'Manchester-based collective uplifting underrepresented (ethnic minority) creatives.' Being in the (old, white) minority felt good. Everyone was so welcoming, and I made three erasures!

"And she’s running past the end of her road, past the allotments with the not-sweet gooseberries her mum’s always saying she’ll make into a pie one day"

As a child, you were forced to leave the place and people that made you feel safe. Now adult, bombs are falling all around you, you’re offered the chance to leave your home and all that is familiar. How do you find the strength to protect yourself and your children? #Aggie’sWar #migration

You’re pregnant for the fifth time, and your man has gone off to fight. But there are child refugees in need of a loving home. Would you take one on? Aggie did. #Aggie’sWar

Hilda says there are ordinary people on both sides of the war. She says we are all equal children of God. She says war is wrong. But Hitler must be stopped. #Equality #Peace #Aggie’sWar
