The loveliest write up of The Poetry Pharmacy! Made me smile repeatedly. Sheryl has captured the essence of Deb, the @emergencypoet #justperfect #poetry
'It’s a cosy hideaway in the middle of nowhere, and there is no rational or commercial reason for it to exist at all. Which is of course what makes it so wonderful.' 🤣❤ (Thank you Sheryl for the interview. I actually enjoyed it! )

I’m taking these New Year’s Resolution tags to Eclectic Sofa tonight. First five people to arrive and ask for one can carefully inscribe their intentions and hang it somewhere visible! A lovely idea, and beautifully letterpress printed by @jessiemaymille… ift.tt/2QVpctn
