Atif Tauqeer takes the time to think and question, which then shows in his poems. He is a powerful performer who delivers with passion and boldness. Whether you're a writer or not, you'll get much from this interview.

#BradfordWrites was simply splendid! 10 talented poets in one afternoon was pure bliss. The next Bradford Writes event is on Saturday the 13th of July at 6.30-9pm at the City Library. If you are a published author or know one you'd like to see at BW, get in touch.

All ready to host Bradford Writes! My sister bought me a new top; matched contrasting shoes, my novella, and the latest book I compiled, the folder I've adored since my 20s for the notes and my pretty beaded bag with change! 😊

I have thoroughly enjoyed working on the #LostMillsGhosrMansions project and would highly recommend a visit!

It was the perfect weather for the
Cherry Blossom Celebration #CliffeCastleMuseum . Phonics in schools means children are quick at counting syllabus, so haikus came easy to them, and imaginary superpowers like the Japenese mythological figures were fun to explore.

This interview for Shairana Moasam JKTV with Matt (Ferguson) Abbott 🍉 was such a joy. From his poetry for children, to the Palestinian poet he is reading, to his twice near misses with complete fame, there was much to value and learn from for any writer. It's on the 4th of April at 4pm.
