'Breaking Silence' (2011) is one of the most compelling #poetry collections I've read this year. Nicely understated. @jsamlarose, I attended your event at @skylinescov but can't remember whether you said this, sorry - can we expect another book from you any time soon...? 🙂

Last night I became Birmingham Poet Laureate. It'll be some job, following on from this hero @MrCaseyBailey - but I'll give it my best shot. This city and its poetry changed my life. I can't wait to champion it - and to show that poetry is an art form of infinite possibilities
