Can’t wait to see this exhibition of women poets’ clothes co curated by Sophie Oliver English Department Centre for New and International Writing southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/liter…

Breaking my twits holiday to say that Birkbeck English *actually* changed my life - being able to do an MA while working, but not just any MA, a blockbuster MA, taught by immensities in their fields. This dept is a national treasure. Sign if you haven't: change.org/p/no-job-cuts-…

How can museum objects help audiences talk about their gender? How does this kind of counter-storytelling open up the museum to diverse gender stories? If you have thoughts, sources, experience it would be great to hear as my project with National Museums Liverpool develops…

I’m really delighted to say that an excerpt from my novel AN ANIMAL SEES ITS DEATH is now up 3:AM Magazine. This section takes place in Tasmania in the early 20th century, and concerns, among other things, a gold watch and a Tasmanian tiger. Big thanks to Andrew Gallix for this

Still time to visit Life Between Islands running Tate until April 3rd - our discussion BBC Radio 3 picked out some of the main themes and highlights bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0b…

‘Boy with a Pearl Earring’, my first Essay for BBC Radio 3, airs tonight!
bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

I discuss Gucci, gender fluidity, cavalier poetry, lovelocks, Aphra Behn, & designer Harris Reed.

I’ll be channeling the cavalier aesthetic to celebrate, & I hope you will be, too.

Hello! Apparently Modernist Wastes is now out in paperback 🙌 IWD seems like an appropriate day to mark the fantastic creative collaboration and deep reciprocity exchanged between EvFL and DB. Sharing a discount flyer for anyone who might be interested 📚 👹

You can listen to this now on bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…... includes thoughts on feminism and fashion, and women's [all women's!] dreams of self-transformation, this #IWD2022 (a day the radical Mina Loy would have scorned, no doubt)

On Thursday I'll be sharing reflections on queer uses of uniforms, seeking out queer joy within schools, armies and clubs. My thoughts were inspired by Feminist Killjoy's work on 'queer use'🙏🏻(and my childhood love of dusty school uniform shops) BBC Radio 3
