It was an honour to be invited to read at Padraig O’Tuama’s event in Sydney, hosted by Poetica, where he launched his beautiful new book Kitchen Hymns. I read one of my poems on the theme of the kitchen table, titled The Oil Stain. ☺️🙏🏾I’ll be uploading a video soon 💫

Yesterday, I had the honour of reading a kitchen-themed poem, “The oil stain”, as part of a curated lineup at a beautiful Padraig O’Tuama event hosted by Poetica in Sydney. It was an incredible evening—Padraig read from his new book Kitchen Hymns. What a compassionate and down-to-earth human! 💫

Today's poem speaks to my heart.
'Elixir' by @oormilaprahlad.bsky.social
Some of you might remember my reawakening last spring. Not sure how to explain it here, but been on my own since 25 (now 42). Wrote many poems last year, shared a few. Most, not yet. Eventually, they will appear. Poetry heals.💗
