Brilliant way to end a bonkers term - 2 poems in the latest Under the Radar, a journal I've longed to be in 💚 Much gratitude to editors Jane Commane and Matt Merritt whose care for the work and professionalism is second to none and whose dedication keeps the wheels of poetryland turning. Thank you 🙏

It felt like a very special thing to read tonight to the Sonic Woodland installation and from my new pamphlet FOREST in the walled garden at Museum in the Park. Deep listening and the power of embodied practice.

HINTERLAND out today from @thewingedmoon, a journal that swims in the subterranean. I've a poem about that strange silent hinterland of baby loss and grief and an elegy for Ellen Hayward, medicine woman of the Forest and last woman to be tried for witchcraft in Gloucestershire (1906).
