Today I went for a walk without my dog, which I forget is allowed! Not taking her meant I could use the bus, which meant I could go somewhere beautiful, and sit on a stone in the sun, and breathe in the spring, which is rushing headlong into blossom. Awaken, little soul.

Can’t believe I don’t have to stay quiet anymore - I’m winner of the Disabled Poets Prize 2025 for my pamphlet ‘How to Train Your Dragon’, which will be published with @vervepoetrypress.bsky.social soon! Breathless and buzzing! Congratulations to Oli Isaac for their poem and all those shortlisted.
