This was a dream project, choosing my favourite love poems for a book illustrated by Mikki Lee, winner of the Book Illustration Competition
We are delighted to reveal our first new edition of 2022! A collection of Love Poems researched and collected by @Idharker. Traversing culture, language and time, this exclusive new anthology of more than 150 poems will resonate with readers of all ages. foliosociety.com/love
Thank you Simon @SmnHwrth and Poets&Players

We all loved it! Thrilling to hear Imtiaz Dharker read. The readings from ‘Shadow Dancer’, Imtiaz’ new book, were stunning in their intensity. You felt as if you could hold them in the palm of your hand and yet they would contain the whole Earth. @Idharker @csmithpoet

This event for International Women’s Day (8 March) with the poet Imtiaz Dharker is going to sell out fast. Get your tickets now — especially as there’s a deadline of 25 Feb (catering requires it; a curry dinner is included!) eventbrite.com/e/an-evening-… @BloodaxeBooks @Idharker
Thank you @jennywcreative, it was good to have you in the audience - and a real treat to hear Pádraig Ó Tuama @duanalla read 'Don't Miss Out! Book Right Now for the Journey of a Lifetime!'
A very moving conversation at @VervePoetryFest between @duanalla & @Idharker. Drawing from #PoetryUnbound & #ShadowReader, their works show the universality of our feelings; how unsettling but also healing poetry can be.

"Before I met her, ‘In Wales, Wanting to Be Italian’ felt like it was mine. I was the one who got to interpret it & perform it however I liked. But when I met Imtiaz, I felt I returned her most of that poem.” Interview with Alicja, #PoetryByHeart finalist
