My debut poetry collection ‘Word Skin’ is forthcoming from @salmonpoetry in the Spring of 2023. I’m very delighted about this and looking forward to the whole experience. 🙂

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
Orla Fay retweeted
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.

Sky's @marthakelner says Donald Trump's decision to lower American flags across the country in honour to Dolly Parton, shows how popular she was, as celebrities 'across the spectrum' begin to pay tribute to the star.

From the spirit of trees, to the glow of love, from the wonder of science and religion to the eery world of dreams. And don’t forget witches, incantations and spells. It’s all marvelously magical 🪄 ✨
