🌟 It’s one year since the launch of Why I Wear My Past to Work 🌟

🙏 to everyone who’s supported my second full poetry collection, published by @parlyareepress.bsky.social. Here’s a poem from the book, inspired by a woman I saw gardening in formal dress while I was driving through the countryside 🙏

Thank you to everyone who came along to Old London Road Cafe in Kingston. I loved sharing poems from Why I Wear My Past to Work, as well as some new work. It was a pleasure to meet those who came and stayed for a beer afterwards at the Fighting Cocks. Big thanks to Anne Cartwright for the photos.
