What I’ve been doing this week at Totleigh @arvonfoundation.bsky.social ! The launch week of 2 year Arvon Advanced Writing Programme, Thanks to Zain Rishi for group photo! Non fiction tutor William Atkins, fiction tutor Rachel Seiffert and I’m looking after the five poets.

You have to write for the love, because the publishing process and response can be upsetting, and the accolades so few (especially for poetry) yet there are collections I love that received little attention. But that creative rush is very special – no one can take it away

In @pascalepetit.bsky.social's final, fourth, poem, What Eagle Saw, Petit turns her focus skyward. The eagle hovers above the neonatal ward, her vision both forensic and mythic, maternal and ecological. @rsliterature.bsky.social

In Catfish, Pascale Petit’s third poem, we are taken back to the very beginning: the hospital ward, the incubator, the first wound of birth. Yet the poem refuses any clinical language. Ihttps://aftershockpoetry.substack.com/p/catfish-by-pascale-petit

That’s ridiculous I wrote first drafts of seven poems today and I’d had a bad night and didn’t feel well. Now have one third (at least) of tenth collection!

A multi-prize-winning poet and genuine great of the poetry community.

The excellent Pascale Petit.
The Book Bag: Poetic Voices – September 2025
Well here we are in September. And with a new month, comes a new Poetic Voice to feature as part of The Book Bag: Poetic Voices. This feature aims to platform and showcase exemplary work from writers I admire across the poetic landscape and runs concurrently with the regular weekly episodes of The Book Bag where I’ll still be sharing thoughts on pamphlets or collections I’ve read through the week. And this month, I am amazed to announce the Poetic Voice is the exceptionally talented prize-winning poet, someone I've read since starting my poetry journey, Pascale Petit.
