The only thing worse than self-promotion? Forgetting to get someone a Christmas present. My new book is a brilliantly low-stakes gift. It's just £9.99, feels nice, you're supporting an author you know, and it's unarguably well-intentioned. Order this week to get it in time. Amazon: amzn.eu/d/gcA1SO3

Glass half full, glass half empty: I can't drink the water that comes out of my kitchen tap without boiling it currently (thank you, South East Water)

Nothing so unusual about this spam email I received - except the level of detail & that ‘Linda’, who writes from a gmail address, gives no details beyond her surname and a job title, ‘book promoter’. No website, no client testimonials, no business address.

A bot, surely? This is getting FREAKY.

I’ll be there with my poetry books and chairing a panel on ‘Challenges authors face (and the advice you wish you’d had)’

Tom Lehrer was a genius. RIP. I'm one of the multitude who appreciated his creative generosity. I'm sharing this poem from my book Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions: Short Poems from Long Covid, in grateful tribute.

Are you as nosy as me? Do you need some holiday reading inspiration?

I love to know what other people read when they've stepped away from daily life!

I also loved visiting the @poetrypharmacy.bsky.social flagship store this weekend – and seeing my book on display in the window! The shop is just as (even more) fabulous on the inside. #poetry #booksky

The Poetry Pharmacy Events Space is a really wonderful place to give a workshop – as I discovered on Sunday! Every wall boasts Clae Eastgate's stunning portraits of female poets. Very inspiring. #blueskyart #poetry

Getting over Long Covid was hard. Writing & publishing poetry has been a big part of my journey through that experience.

My new book is out today. A follow-up to Poetry for Life and Other Chronic Conditions. It's for anyone who feels anything – especially if you need cheering up. amzn.eu/d/5bQF2Jh

Sometimes I worry I sound tone deaf posting about my little book given everything that’s going on in the world right now.

But I also know how essential I find reading & writing for being able to cope. Seeing Poetry for Loving Life billed as a hot new release in this company is🔥💖🔥 amzn.eu/d/etOpCeh
