Fun was had in Bath at the launch of our anthology ‘Monsoon’. We enjoyed workshops by @jupiterjonz.bsky.social & @susmitab.bsky.social & a panel on the future of flash as well as tons of readings of stories from our anthology. A lovely day & so good to meet so many new people 😊😊😊

Last week I visited a school in Southampton with @johnhansardgallery to introduce Gond Art from India. I had the opportunity to blend my art background with poetry writing & create found poetry artwork. Here are a few examples of their work. The first photo is my own artwork I used as an example.

Sharing a few photos taken at Winchester Poetry Festival's Poetry Hub as part of Bournemouth Writing Festival 2025. These were taken during my sessions, so they're mostly of me! But it was a weekend of many workshops and readings at the WPF Poetry Hub space.

This is sooo cool! I must ask my cousin if she’s been there as she lives in Toronto.

After watching Mrs, the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film, The Great Indian Kitchen, I’ve retired to a sunny spot in the company of my plants to contemplate on life, marriage, independence, companionship & the balance between all these things. If you have watched it, what did you think of the film?

Such a lovely evening at @arcwinch listening to David Nicholls talk about his writing journey, his fascination with songs and music in his books, his writing process and his support for libraries at the Winchester Books Festival and I managed to get a signed copy of his latest book. 📚📖📚
