I'm not deleting my account, but I don't intend to post anything on any of my accounts here for the foreseeable future. If you want to know what I'm up to, please sign up to my email list through my website.
It's been a busy schedule of events for me over the last couple of months, but this is the last one until September. Sunday night in Meanwood, with @ian__harker, Su Ryder and me.

I'm on the bill at @riponpoetfest on Saturday 21 Sep, in a double-header with fellow Leeds poet Khadijah Ibrahim. Tickets just £5. There's a lot of other good stuff on that day and over the weekend, including @katefoxwriter. Check out the programme here. riponpoetryfestival.co.uk/20…
Great news for @SarahWimbush. She's a regular and former headliner at @ChemistryPoetry, has been a headliner at @WordsontheWall1, and has done numerous other events with me, most recently at @LeedsLit. And now she's shortlisted for the Forward Prize. So pleased for her :)
Totally blown away to be shortlisted @ForwardPrizes with some of my heros @rachelallen1 @VChangPoet @EllaFrears @FadyJoudah congratulations all 🥳🖤

We're doing things a bit differently for next month's Chemistry. Instead of the usual two headliners, we'll be showcasing some of our recently-published regulars. Plus the usual open mic and optional theme. Come and join us at @ChemicTavern in Leeds.

@theleedslibrary today to listen to @SarahWimbush reading from Strike & being interviewed by @JoeWilliamsPoet So much of Sarah’s writing & responses resonated with my experience of living in the Sth Yorks Coalfield in 1984. A powerful combo of words and pictures @leedslit
