This is not a new thing to say but I would just like to reaffirm that if you're a cisgender person who's added pronouns to your bio then that's pretty great and I appreciate you 💖

This is like being in an American film where the British references are from 40 years ago. The most immoral thing about Soho these days is the £10 cup of coffee

How can we sleep when the Sumud flotilla is being intercepted by the IDF for taking baby milk to dying children. All eyes on the flotilla, all eyes on Gaza.

So after #GTFC knocked Manchester United out of the League Cup last Wednesday I wrote a song. Today I'm releasing it. It's called Molten Plastic.

Have a look eh?

30 years ago today, me & Matt @unchartered threw away the thing that had pretty much consumed our whole adult lives - which was also our livelihoods - & threw a big party to say a noisy, slightly chaotic, somewhat drunken goodbye to our wonderful record label, Sarah.

Still tearing up thinking about @jyotimishra.bsky.social playing Fairweather Friend at Words & Music at the Skep on Saturday. That song was on every single mix tape I made in the early 90s, an absolute joy of a tune. I'm so happy I got to hear it played live after all these years! 🥹💖

Look, I'm not saying you should buy my collection from @saltpublishing.com just because my work has been praised by the poet laureate, but I'm not *not* saying that either

"Pete Green's poems combine an environmental and at times pastoral sensibility with a lyrical dexterity that can include rhyme and pattern, but there's also a mischievousness and irony at play in the fragmented thoughts and magnified imagery to prove Green is a poet alive to the challenges of the post-modernist era" – Simon Armitage
