    Bringing the big live show on a tour of the UK from April - here’s the first few dates, more to follow. Directed by Neil Bartlett with visuals and film footage from Sweatmother. The launch at Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank was a riot. Join it. Tix via the link in my bio ✊

    I just keep pressing quote and not knowing what to say. It’s the best day of my professional life. This is for all the wrong walking women, the butches & bois and all those struggling to find their own bodies. Thank you @SaqiBooks for believing in this strange little golden book

    The irony of making GCSE poetry optional/ dropping it at the precise moment in history when poets have unlimited time to engage with schools and students and the technology to achieve it 1/3

    As we know several municipalities in Poland have been declared LGBT Free Zones and queer books removed from schools. I’ve been contacted by someone who is trying to counter the misrepresentation through founding an LGBT library - and they’re looking for UK poets/ authors 1/2
