A pleasure to be at the launch of @traceyrhys.bsky.social and Christina Thatcher's latest collections from @parthianbooks.bsky.social, hosted by poetry editor @soozerama.bsky.social. Reviews below alongside @pascalepetit.bsky.social from @mabjones.bsky.social 👇
Wonderful launch of Christina Thatcher's Breaking a Mare and my own Bathing on the Roof at Waterstones Cardiff on Thursday. Such warmth! It felt dream-like to introduce my book to you.
I'm in the Western Mail Weekend magazine today talking about Bathing on the Roof! Many thanks to Jenny White for giving me the opportunity to talk about the evolution of the book. Out now from @parthianbooks.bsky.social

Get yourself to this, Cardiff. Two very fine poets and lovely people. 🙂

Something positive and full of craft and heart, in troubled times.
Thanks for your kind words, Corinna, and for the repost too xx

Many disabled people spent 14 years holding on, surviving Tory cruelty, by focusing on 'if we can just get a Labour gov, this will stop'.

I can't describe the community's betrayal and hopelessness now it's turned out Labour not only haven't stopped, they're going further.

I've made a late-night recording (it was 11pm so I do look a bit knackered) of one of my poems from the new collection. This one is about multiple miscarriages so bear that in mind if you feel it might upset you. youtu.be/2P1qQhMQY3E?...
