Rewriting my post I was being way too polite: fuck off to this fascism, fuck this bigotry, fuck this ignorance and hatred. I stand with Love, I stand with freedom, I stand with choice and autonomy and human rights, I stand in solidarity with all of my trans friends and family 🏳️⚧️

One of my poems has made it to this lovely display in America 😊
In ‘A Dress With Deep Pockets’ @jenferoze.bsky.social creates an ode to friendship — fierce, tender, honest, these poems shine with love & understanding of how it feels to move through the world as a mother, a friend, as someone who’s gotten to middle-age without working out who they want to be!

I totally agree. @jitterbugwrites.bsky.social and @karanchambers.bsky.social and @louloumach.bsky.social are all doing this in a most spectacular way. And we need this.
For this week’s #LiftToTheSky I’d say @jitterbugwrites.bsky.social is one of the most beguiling and unsettling British women poets writing atm. This poem does what she does SO well.

Congratulations @karanchambers.bsky.social on the launch of your @salopress.bsky.social book woman | folk - you were wonderful 🩷

Thank you so much for such a beautiful review Catherine! ❤️❤️
Very pleased to finally get my hands on this pamphlet. I love Karan Chambers’ work, and this doesn’t disappoint. Featuring stark, often violent, landscapes and radical reframings, these unapologetically angry poems give a voice to women who have suffered at the hands of men.

So excited for this! I hope to see you there!
Tomorrow night @galiamelon.bsky.social and myself are reading from our Salo book at the launch of @karanchambers.bsky.social’s Salo book. Thank you @brihughespoet.bsky.social for arranging. Thank you @salopress.bsky.social for being gorgeous.
