I grew up ogling at the poetry section of @Foyles Charing Cross. Now my book is stocked there, displayed next to some beautiful collections & anthologies by @AuraofThoughts & @maryjean_chan — an absolute joy. Thank you @VervePoetryPres for getting it there. #motherlineinthewild
Last year I had the immense privilege of working with a group of young people recruited by @LeadersUnlocked to pull together a poem articulating young people's experience of sexual violence. These are entirely their words and deserve to be heard.

BYP fam (et al)... hold tight. Reach out to the people who might need support, if you can. We bear this together.

Hello @Robert_Booth can this please be covered by The Guardian? Our friend has been missing since Friday. He wrote Guardian's poem of the week recently. We need our friend home and it has been too many days without news .

He was last seen at the Shambala festival but could now have travelled outside of the Northamptonshire area.
If you see him, please call us 101 or contact Northamptonshire Police here: northants.police.uk
