Love this Hannah Ledlie list poem for the way it makes you gleefully imagine the Queen doing all of the things. More fun in poetry, please :)

I wrote this poem when Roe v Wade was repealed. But there seems to be a use for it most days. Yesterday was hard. Today is hard. Get up. We need you. #Resist #fascism #misogyny #poetsonbluesky #blueskypoetry 💙

It is so wild and exciting to me to have a deadline THIS YEAR for an accepted poetry collection coming out in 2026. I'm currently deep into biographies of Eleanor Marx and the Brontës (if you're intrigued by the connection, this book will be for you) but here's a little snippet from the title poem ♥️

One of my loveliest poetry moments this year was hearing I had won the Indigo Spring Poetry Prize with this completely unhinged poem (which is now also in my pamphlet 'Amortisation'). The original @carolinebirduk.bsky.social prompt was 'commit to a crazy idea then break your heart at the end' :) 💙
