A few photos from the T.S Eliot Prize weekend. HUGE congratulations to the incredible Peter Gizzi 🩵 Fierce Elegy is a remarkable book and it was so special to celebrate it. Still pinching myself that Lapwing was on that list 💚

Joe Wright’s video review of
Lapwing for the @poetrysociety.bsky.social Young Critics Scheme is stunning 🩵. I’m blown away by it, and my mum says he talks about my own book far better than I do. So there you go. youtu.be/0bGVwMOH3Wo?...

🎅🏽🌲 is up and I’m using it to celebrate Jackson Phoenix Nash’s Little Betty pamphlet ‘Some People Are Trains’ - it’s smart, funny & vulnerable & I’m excited to hear him THIS THURSDAY (5th Dec) with Mona Arshi & @dzifabenson.bsky.social at @thesohopoly.bsky.social ❤️🔥

I’m currently running a mini workshop series on how poetry disrupts & creates archives. Last week we read Nicole Sealey’s The Ferguson Report: An Erasure & this week it’s DMZ Colony, Surge & Zong!
I have so many favs, but I’d love to add more archival collections to my list. Suggestions welcome! 🩵
