Came across this today - a haunting reminder of what speaking out can do
Replying to @BarbicanCentre
Opening on #NationalPoetryDay, Shilpa Gupta's exhibition includes an immersive installation of 100 microphones suspended above 100 metal spikes, each piercing a page inscribed with a fragmented verse of poetry by a poet incarcerated for their work, writings or beliefs.

Today is World AIDS! Much is to be applauded - great progress in controlling the disease, freeing us to love freely once more - but a cure or vaccination is not in sight! May AIDS be, ever-increasingly, a thing of the past, an unforgettable / unforgivable, memory!😭 RIP ⚰️

Very excited to see my pamphlet taking shape, almost ready to join @brokensleep ‘s brilliant library. And @GodzillaKent your cover design is extraordinary, windpipe against the spine - I love it 🙏
COVER REVEAL: In Vital Capacity Fiona Larkin explores the centrality of breath, the myths & stigmas of TB, the shame attached to acknowledging a disease of poverty, the political question of who can access medical treatment, & the multiple interpretations of breath. 28/02/2022

A strong addition to your COP26 reading plans: STRANGERS is thoughtfully written by @RebTamas and brilliantly published by @makinabooks. It's a beautiful thing and feels apt reading as winter draws in 🍂

What a joy to be in something as magnificent as Best British Short Stories. It makes for a while all the lonely hours of writing feel worthwhile. A million thanks to these three wonders: @nicholasroyle @saltpublishing @ambitmagazine

Lisa Nandy on BBC just said the Ratcliffe family are being fobbed off with meeting junior FO staff and Richard, on hunger strike outside the building, isn’t even being allowed inside to use the toilet. No words.

This week I've had an essay accepted in one of my dream publications, been reviewed in another and had a poem accepted on the Culture Matters website. On any other platform, saying this would be showing off but for me it's a way of celebrating. 🎉🦋💃🏾
