Brilliant! I’m not sure I can make it, but I’ll post on the Uplift Poetry socials about it 🎉❤️

I’m keen to see what we write and create in the next 8 years 🥰🥹

Did you know that I write poetry?

@raewhite.bsky.social and I just published a small anthology zine with all poetry collaborations inside it.

We've been romantic and artistic partners since 2018, and yet it took us all that time to finally publish a poetry Zine together.
