Yesterday I overheard a teenage boy say to his friend 'Don't tell them I'm a Muslim, I'll get hate.' This is what we've come to in '24.
Just popping on here to share a recommendation of this excellent powerful collection by Rachel Mann. @Carcanet

Was very sad to hear of the passing of Geoff Hattersley yesterday. I loved his poetry... and I never got to hear him read in public. 😔 His sad/funny tone reflected working class life beautifully.

i.m. Geoff Hattersley (1956-2024)
Geoff Hattersley, who died yesterday, was one of the most outstanding but underrated poets of his generation...

Beyond happy to be highly commended in the Rialto Nature & Place comp. & pleased as punch that my poem was selected by Zaffar Kunial - that makes it very special to me. Congratulations to the winners, all the commended and longlisted poets. @RialtoPoetry therialto.co.uk/pages/2024/0……

London Grip New Poetry – Summer 2024
Issue 52 of London Grip New Poetry: londongrip.co.uk/2024/05/lon…
And the day comes to a close with the hot water tap exploding and steaming hot water filling the kitchen... under control now, I hope.
I have a new poem on @LondonGrip today, on my mother's first daughter and the sister I nearly had. Great to read work from @Emma_Lee1 and @fierydes in there too. londongrip.co.uk/2024/05/lon…

A mistake is forgetting to add salt to rice, it is not deliberately bombing a safe zone.
