Poet. I love moss, mudlarking and broken things. Proud to be Northern, non-binary and neurodivergent.

And the wonderful event you hosted in August raised money for “Give Peat a chance” which is a fantastic Yorkshire Wildlife Trust project!

Just two weeks since 400 Kate Bushes danced Wuthering Heights on the moors which inspired the song and the book!
Here’s a tiny film about it

Here's a nice thing! I created this set of bog-themed resources and workshop plans for the Poetry Society. They are suitable for kids and adults, and you can download them for free.

We're dancing to celebrate the genius of Kate Bush and Emily Brontë, to raise money for Women's Aid, and to protect our moors, their curlews and bogs and cultural legacy from the proposal to build England's biggest onshore windfarm on their protected peat.

In 2023, there were over a million recorded incidents of violence against women in England and Wales alone.
I can't wait to see these figures plummet as transwomen are denied entry into women’s toilets, hospital wards and sports. Thank God JK Rowling and her cronies defended women so effectively.
Never a truer word!
