You could buy it and buy a cute charity shop outfit in the charity shop sale.
She’s half price @serenbooks.bsky.social at the moment. Grab a copy, go out for a nice coffee in your red tights and think about the heat of the unsaid. And how gorgeous a peach dress would look in spring.

The most common and stupid misconceptions are that wages are low because immigration and prices are high due to 'the cost of living'.

When obviously wages are low because your bosses don't want to pay you and prices are high because billionaires are greedy.

This weeks episode is with the excellent Natalie Shapero. We talked about jokes, line breaks, and how being a lawyer and poet is similar (sort of).

The Poems We Made Along The Way can be found wherever good podcasts can be found.

And of course, have a great Christmas.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

It may well be the case that small, independent presses are the lifeblood of literature, and a vital feature of our cultural landscape, providing an essential service in a complex ecosystem, like wrasses or shrimps. What is undeniably the case is that we have sold a total of five books this month.
