This was such a lovely surprise!Thank you to @catherineredford.bsky.social & @tarawheeler.bsky.social for this vote of confidence 🤩

I’m delighted to announce that my debut poetry collection, ‘The Way the Water Held Me’, will be published by The Emma Press in the Spring. Available to pre-order now!

SOME NEWS: Huge congratulations to our brilliant Co-Editor @catherineredford.bsky.social, whose debut poetry collection ‘The Way the Water Held Me’ will be published in March by @theemmapress.bsky.social

So looking forward to reading you Catherine and sending love from Japan where I am now!

I have found this whole episode incredibly distressing and isolating, so I'm grateful to see Rory Waterman's analysis shine a light on both the poetry and the poison. Whatever your views, we need a more courteous and humane public discourse, from and for all parties. Please.

Oh! This is nice - thank you so much @atriumpoetry.bsky.social for featuring my collection!

Thanks for sharing this, Isabelle.

A Zuihitsu on Various Walks | Jane Austen's House Visit Jane Austen's House - the Hampshire cottage at which Jane Austen lived and penned her novels, including the timeless Pride and Prejudice.

Taking a course on Japanese literary/poetic forms right now with @corrintachibana.bsky.social. The current session is about zuihitsu, an essay form I feel attracted to but also find challenging to do well. Really enjoyed this one by Ellora Sutton janeaustens.house/news/a-zuihi...
