I finished Muckle Flugga this morning - could have read it more quickly but didn't want it to end! Very nearly started again the minute I'd finished. What a wonderful book. Gorgeous writing. Going to miss it. Still pondering the ending - not in a critical way, just thinking about it all! #BookSky

I’ve a new poem in Sunday’s Observer New Review with a bespoke illustration to boot. Here it is in emoji form first:

Yikes! 𝘔𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦 𝘍𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 and it’s truly changed the orbit of my being. A veritable riptide of thanks & gratitude to everyone who has read it, recommended it, shared a post or come to an event. What a gorgeous gaggle of humans I’ve got to quest with along the way.

DUNBAR * LONDON * NORTH BERWICK * LATITUDE * ABERDEENSHIRE 💛 Yes, I’m supposed to be on a writing break over June & July but, you know, sometimes lush things happen and new shows spiral out / bluebells thrusting up in floral defiance of their concrete overlords.

💙🤍❤️ Voila, my very first French translation: 𝗟𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲 𝗹’𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 (The Impossible Lighthouse). You better believe I was summoned over to Paris to pose by the Seine. 📚 This stunning edition will be published by the sublime Buchet Chastel on 27th August.

Happy 1 year of Muckle Flugga by @michaelpedersen.bsky.social !!
My favourite book from last year, so beautifully written. Thrilled to have the indie paperback and hardback version! I created a Norman Osborn meme shortly after reading & loving the book! I’ve done two sets of themed nails! 🌊✨💙💛💖
