As we approach two years of pandemic life, I’m realising more and more that it’s unrealistic to expect my writing habits to have remained unchanged in this time. I’m not the person I was in January 2020. Neither are you.
What I’ve been loving lately: September 2021
Here are some things I loved during September 2021 (yes, this post is a little late, but life is busy like that!)
Winchester Poetry Festival 2021
AD – press ticket | I was thrilled to attend one of the three Festival weekend days, making my way into Winchester on Saturday 9 October for around seven hours of stanzas, syllables and sonnets.
Poem | Sestet in the City
Happy National Poetry Day 2021! Here's my latest poem; an ode, of sorts, to how poetry can be found in our lives every single day.
Poem | Quiet, please
Naturally, to mark Libraries Week 2021, I penned a poem, celebrating these special places. Happy reading!
