I loved visiting The Small City Bookshop #Bristol to sign copies of Sculling, have a natter, smell pages and pick up a copy of the latest Maggie Nelson. A beautiful space.

They have a 3rd birthday party on Nov 20th, 6-8pm. 10% off books and a free cocktail/mocktail. 🍹 What’s not to love? #booksky

Late night signing postcards to post to a dear family friend who will then slip them into all the Scullings she’s bought for her pals. I’m told she’s making ripples and that her friends are buying it for their friends for Christmas. So very lucky to know such sweetness. 💙

I’ve written an article for @thetimes.com exploring my experience of grief, my wrestling with guilt and the phenomenon of “chimerism”, which means that recipients of donated organs have two sets of DNA.

Find it online or in print in today’s Sunday Times Style.

Knowing who received my ex’s heart changed the way I grieved
When Sophie Dumont’s first love died in a car crash, his organs were donated. She writes about how the experience affected her

My poetry debut SCULLING is now available to pre-order while climbing Arthur’s Seat!

Made this t-shirt and didn’t put any deets about the book on it so that I can reuse it for book number 2! Being my own accountability buddy. 🤝

Grateful to have a #FathersDay poem on picking yarrow and dementia in the latest of Dust Poetry Magazine.

This is a gorgeous online mag full of ideas of mythology, memory and oscillating relationships.
