Still buzzing that one of my favourite stories I’ve written found a home in the coolest mag 🦷

Extra Teeth @extrateethmag.bsky.social · 2d

🪹The Swallows 🪹by @nazaretranea.bsky.social

A tragedy brings our narrator closer to her unwanted companions. A story about leaving home, grief and solace in nature.

Had such a wonderful poetry-filled weekend ✨

My poem Nettles was The Scotsman’s poem of the Week on Saturday, followed by a magical visit to Little Sparta, Ian Hamilton Finlay’s ‘Garden Poem’, where I read alongside Janette Ayachi, Nasim Rebecca Asl and Chris Crawford to celebrate Ian’s centenary
