I hope so! 🙂 I have performed at the South Bank Centre for Outspoken before and taught online with them. (This book is with Bloodaxe but I’m sure I will read with other queer poets published by them like Simon Maddrell who lives round the corner from me.)

Thanks Doug! It was a lot to ask Villain to produce something so homo it outgays the cover for Reckless Paper Birds but they got there. 🌈😁⚡️

Always looking for new ways to stop students looking at smartphones while I'm talking. :)

Bright orange has always been my favourite colour. :) I wish I could wear it more. My Irish ancestors conferred on me the gift of pasty skin which outside summer tends toward vampiric blue. I still have a pair of bright orange Nike Air TNs though.
