Manchester City Poet (2025), debut pamphlet, Broken Sleep Books (2022)
Running a workshop for @thewordupnorth.bsky.social in March. Come break some rules with me :)
We’ve all come up against certain ‘rules’ in writing before - guidance intended to improve our craft. But in this workshop, New Northern Poet Nóra Blascsók explains how breaking these rules can work as an exciting jumping-off point to push boundaries in your poetry.

Thrilled to have a poem in @perversemag.bsky.social again, especially as it's the titular poem of my new pamphlet (currently feeling its way out into the world). Thanks so much to @chrissywilliams.bsky.social for picking it!

No new poems published this year and I think that is ok. Two coming out next year and another exciting bit of poetry news to be announced shortly too. I am still writing, poetry is still bringing me joy and allowing me to meet lots of interesting folk, and that's what counts. Happy new year all! 💐🥂

Really enjoyed this short book and I'm looking forward to seeing the movie with Cilian Murphy tonight. Has anyone else seen it/read the book? I found it such a great meditation on the futility of the grind, human conscience and family.
