It was such a pleasure to read in Dunkeld at the Corbenic Poetry Path with Pip Osmond-Williams - thanks to John Plunkett and Taylor Strickland for this wonderful opportunity. What a beautiful place. @corbenic.bsky.social

Carson - completely well deserved and how great it is that poets have started winning the Nobel Prize again; the hope was great indeed when Louise Gluck earned it, today it has cemented. This is a great day for all poets who are women.

"Another Life" from my book Afterbody (Blue Diode Press, '25) appears in the @edinburghtrams.bsky.social. Thanks to @edincityoflit.bsky.social. Wild this is happening/happened.

Thank you!

Some good news - Afterbody has been nominated for the National Book Awards! An amazing set of books to find Afterbody amongst. Thanks to @creativescots.bsky.social, my mentors Alan Gillis and Don Paterson, and to Moniack Mhor. Gratitude owed to my publisher Rob Mackenzie, Bharat Iyer, and family.
