Thank you to Verve Poetry Press for bringing my poems out of my heart and into a book, to all who supported me on the way, the poets I've read, projects I've been involved in (creative workshops are such joy), to my friends and family and to the wonderful poets who endorsed. Diolch

This is a crumbling grade II listed artist's house. The postman had been before I life bed. Had worked till the curtains lit up. I didn't do it but the weight of Naipaul and Eagleton broke the thin wooden ledge for letters and parcels in the landing...

Apologies if I become a teenage boy stuck in his room playing GTA for the next few months (but actually writing poetry).

But I think I like working on the third book best so far. 🌙🪐📚

Last July Atrium Poetry published my poem 'Stars siphon narcissus (also featured in my 1st collection 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon' from @serenbooks). As it is the 11th anniversary of my mother's death & the poem is about her, I thought I'd share: atriumpoetry.com/2023/07/07/sta…

The Hay Festival conversation between Francesca Reece and I is sold out, but you can add it to your wish list to express an interest in hearing about Assimilation and Glass Houses. Let us know you care 🙏🏼

My first headliner gig! The Murenger is such a South Wales institution; hope to see you there!

I would like to thank all the contributors to 'In flight', our fab artist Emma Connolly and most of all marcelle newbold poems who was meticulous in selecting the poems when she had so many to go through. This distilled project has been one of the highlights of the Bough.

Thanks very much Ivor, hope you enjoy 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon' from Seren alongside the brilliant other books in that photo 😍

For my niece's 13th birthday I bought her a second fountain pen and gave her a bottle of my favourite ink, Diamine Imperial Purple. Except, the pen comes with a converter and she doesn't know how to fill it with ink, and has to wait for her mother to demonstrate this!

Issue Nine is out for your weekend reading!
