Pickin' up good vibrations from the Sound and Vision issue of @cunningfolkmag.bsky.social. My article in here covers sensory deprivation tanks, medieval musical visions and the harmony of the spheres, and I absolutely can't wait to read the rest of this sublime content.

Delighted to have not one, but two pieces in this summer's volume of @trashcatlit.bsky.social! 'Wixton Fen' is inspired by a very real place nearby, where I ran with some buddies last summer. It was vast, beautiful and lonely...

Thanks to everyone who came to my Romancing the Gothic talk. Just been reading up on the infernal nature of cats. According to William Caxton: “the devyl playeth ofte with the synnar, lyke as the catte doth with the mous.”

My Romancing the Gothic topic this week is a gift that keeps on giving. As long as what you’re after are double entendres or straight-up comparisons between potholes and a certain part of the female anatomy.

I’m first up on the itinerary of tonight’s poetry reading! I’m bringing a big, fluffy puppy to a) calm my nerves and b) socialise the dog to beret-wearing beatniks. Any other advice?

I remember the days when Costa panini sandwiches were toasted, and not just warmed till soggy, when there was real tomato, and not just this beige paste. Why does everything get worse with time?
Okay, I’m in a slightly bad mood.
