Just had delightful chat with @wevebeenreading @charleyblogs @_WendyCaitlin. Podcast to follow. Discussion of creative writing PhDs being thrill-based work & a slightly unprepared reading of Poets, among other things. Wendy asked that I post a picture of my tattoo, so here it is.
This should be a fun conversation. 😆😆😆😆😆
You will get to listen to what is said on @wevebeenreading podcast.
Watch this space for deets on how you can legitimately eavesdrop as we discuss, among other things, ‘Poets’ @theredceilings.🔥💋🖊️

A brilliant episode of @wevebeenreading with @AMcMillanPoet discussing ‘Pity’ & what it means to dig beneath the idea of one narrative of a place. From pared back aesthetics to being within & without stories of class, this is a special conversation 👂

It was a joy to sit down with @RMFrancis and @_WendyCaitlin to discuss 'free bleeding', and the varied topics housed inside this book. Thank you so much, both, for such a lovely hour. And thank you, over and again, Wendy, for making me write about things I now regret saying. 🤣 x
