9 GOLDEN RULES:
READING POETRY IN PUBLIC

Taking a moment to appreciate everything that has happened to me in poetry! Back in Summer 2019 none of these books existed! So grateful to my publishers @arachnepress.bsky.social & @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social; & to everyone who has supported me and my writing!

Here I am holding a copy of BOLD IN THE LIFE on BOLD STREET very happy in the knowledge that the pamphlet itself contains a poem entitled BOLD IN THE LIFE ON BOLD STREET! Poetry is such a special kind of magic!

Presenting the first dates of the BOLD IN THE LIFE: Trolling Me Screeves Tour 2025 – Part Oney!

I’ve more readings lined up in the second half of the year but if you’re a poetry event both online and in person looking some poetic Polari fun, please get in touch (especially if you’re in Wales!).

My poetry pamphlet IN RETAIL (@arachnepress.bsky.social) has been used to train Meta’s Al without mine or my publisher’s permission or with due regard to copyright. I’m not alone, there are 1000s of writers who’s work has been stolen. Solidarity with @societyofauthors.bsky.social!

I found this classic Mel & Kim vinyl in a chazza and it’s rather synchrontainious as one of the poems in my new pamphlet BOLD IN THE LIFE is dedicated to Kim, so I thought I’d share it. (And if you like it, you can preorder the book here: www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...). Bona walloping!

Feb 2025 marks 6 years since IN RETAIL was published by @arachnepress.bsky.social. IN RETAIL inspired A VOICE COMING FROM THEN which inspired JOY//US which inspired the forthcoming BOLD IN THE LIFE (@brokensleepbooks.bsky.social). I am so, so grateful to Cherry & to everyone who has bought the book!

Brilliant! I was so happy that Katherine let me use her art in my book. Here’s my set!

In 2006 I attended my 1st course at Ty Newydd tutored by Gillian Clarke & Micheal Longley. He was so gentle & focussed & in a feedback session said, ‘This poem is rather bleak, does it need to be?’. He quietly showed me how you could rewrite, change things & make another poem. Thank you Michael! 🙏❤️

Today’s TOTALLY STRANGE: A Queer Icons Poetry Workshop at Bridge Cottage in Port Sunlight was fabulous! Poems were inspired by photos of Pete Burns in the exhibition Total Stranger & also by our own queer icons. I decorated the space with my 1980s sketch/scrapbooks & we dropped by Pete’s old home.

2024 was all about poetry and 2025 will be all about poetry too! May the New Year bring you transformative creativity! Here’s a Concrete poem recalling NYE’s past that began life in a playing with form Queer The Page workshop!

Happy birthday Dad! Here’s a poem he never got to read although I did show him a proof of A VOICE COMING FROM THEN when he was in hospital. I thought ‘Tobias and the Angel, 1989-90’ was about Richard Davies (which it is), but reading it now I also realise that the towering, smiling angel is dad. ❤️

Polari Postcard 3: Can you guess what SEAFOOD means? Another collage postcard to celebrate sending the final manuscript of BOLD IN THE LIFE, my new Polari-inspired poetry pamphlet, to my publisher @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social!

Polari Postcard 2: Do you know what TRADE means? I’m going to do a little series of these collage postcards in the run up to the publication of BOLD IN THE LIFE, my new Polari-inspired poetry pamphlet due out with @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social next year! Used some very old letraset for the word!

DIOLCH to @cjwagstaff.bsky.social for writing such an insightful & generous review of @arachnepress.bsky.social’s JOY//US: Poems of Queer Joy in the latest issue of Poetry Wales. Reviews are hard to come by so this really means a lot to me. Lovely mentions & close readings of so many poems! ❤️🌈❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Do you know what BAGAGA means? While everyone was working hard on the first day of Collage College I had a go at making my first Polari postcard! I’m doing a series of them in the run up to publication of BOLD IN THE LIFE my new poetry pamphlet out with @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social next year.
