Hi Rosie, I went to the @wcorklitfest.bsky.social last year and it was fantastic! Hope you're able to come to the Poetry and Community events, and look forward to seeing you at the SoA Awards next week!
Two poems from my first collection 'Her Lost Language' have just been used in a film about Nunhead Cemetery. It's strange to think I wrote the poems years ago, and now they have a 2nd life in the world. Look forward to sharing the film here soon. 🌿
I've been waiting nearly nine months to be paid by a university that shall be nameless. There's been some movement but only because the VC is involved. I bet there are others who've waited longer.
There's a mental health crisis.
There isn't any funding.
How come the #NHS, universities, the 'people in charge' don't see there's a link between these two commonly-said statements?
'Delivery Service' by Monica Monolachi is a wonderfully simple poem that says so much. And there's a link to a good song thrown in. 🌿
