I am so very excited by this collection. Katie reduced me to tears at #NotJustPretty reading from this book. I've cried reading it myself. So, so affecting!! She's one of the finest poets I've ever read. This will blow your mind! #Trilogy #WifeWidowWitch #CoverReveal @katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social
Katie Jenkins’ #Trilogy wife:widow:witch is almost here—feminist, fearless, & feral in all the right ways.

I can't take any credit for this. I am just glad @thebrokenspine.co.uk is able to platform @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social and her vision. It was an amazing event, so much talent! Extremely moving and affecting. I was always proud of my record publishing women, but this is something else! #NotJustPretty
Huge shout out to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social for bringing together such an incredible group of women. I was honoured and humbled to be among them 🙏✨🙌
Well, #NotJustPretty was an absolute blast. I'm a little teary after hearing @katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social read my fave poem from her forthcoming collection. Compound that with the event itself, the vision from @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social wonderfully hosted! Everything we could have wanted!
