When our politicians come back to us yet again with sympathetic words, it is necessary to respond: what are you actually doing to help? What powers are you using to stop a genocide? What else could you be doing to stop people being murdered today?

What's in a frame?

Trying out some old pieces in frames. Interesting to see how the frame revives (or occasionally kills) a work and its intentions.
A grid of nine colorful and varied artworks, mostly abstract and filled with visual excess, against a neutral background.

My contributor's copy of 'Earth: poems of presence and possibility' has arrived from the US and it is gorgeous 😍 @tinywrenlit.bsky.social
Colour photo of a book entitled Earth edited by Dana J. Graef and Dana Knott. Title in green against cream with an illustration of many flowers and leaves. The book stands in front of a potted spider plant on top of a pale blue chest.

Extremely excited to return to Manchester for this special event. It's not technically the first screening in England (Cambridge got there first, sorry!) but it's certainly the fanciest screening I've had since the premiere and I'll need to polish my shoes.

"She wrote an ‘S’ in the air and flicked / dirt from every violent coil"

In the burrowing slowness of indifference ​worm felt her middle jerk watched eyeless as space opened heard wind whisper if you only could comprehend boggle-headed where a turn can take you. She wrote an ‘S’ in the air and flicked dirt from every violent coil.
