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

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

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

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.
