Really happy to see my name in The Telegraph this morning as one of this year’s Poetry Competition Highly Commended poets.

Huge congratulations to the winner and the shortlisted poets πŸ’› This year’s theme was Mothers, which I explored in my poem The Phonetics of Love

As 2025 comes to an end, here are some highlights from my year.

A year of learning, sharing poetry, and finding community. Being able to celebrate the wins of poets and friends I love, and to make space for each other in an industry with so little support and so much talent 🀍

Thanks to
@poetrylondon.bsky.social for publishing my poem En la Meseta / On the Tableland in their Autumn Issue.

It’s always such a treat to see the two versions appear side by side, letting readers experience the poem in both Spanish and English πŸ’›πŸ’š

Had such a wonderful poetry-filled weekend ✨

My poem Nettles was The Scotsman’s poem of the Week on Saturday, followed by a magical visit to Little Sparta, Ian Hamilton Finlay’s β€˜Garden Poem’, where I read alongside Janette Ayachi, Nasim Rebecca Asl and Chris Crawford to celebrate Ian’s centenary
