One of the most brutal but healthy things I've learnt is to allow yourself to feel your feelings. Let then run their course, process, work through them, and understand they might change you. Absolutely heart-wrenching work but necessary. Lots of love to anyone struggling! ❤️
Enjoying very much the haunting, unsettling, beautiful poems by @PaulineRowe_ in vestige (Maytree Press @MaytreePoetry ), written in response to photographs by AJ Wilkinson. A powerfully evocative combination of word and image.
Class 1L enjoyed choosing a new book from Kingsley and co. We love to read! #wearereaders

I remember this busy day for Booksy this time last year like it was yesterday. It filled our hearts with joy. We loaded up Buttercup the van and hit the road. Five schools, 180 boxes, lots of smiling faces. All in one great day.
@LivLitCycle Tha k you for everything you have done.
Incredible indeed. We are blessed to have so many brilliant writers in our city. All the finalists did an amazing job. We can't all be the winner every time. All writers learn this in time. But just keep going, folks. And never give up. Onward and Upward 👉🏾👆🏾❤💛💚
📚✨ We had an incredible Pulp Idol 2024 Grand Final at @RoyalCourtLiv! Huge congrats to our winner, Kevin Chadwick, and runners-up, Dan Howarth and Mack Young. Special thanks to our esteemed judges, @YBattleFelton, @NugentAshleigh, and @Ofmooseandmen. 🙌
Poor dragon didn't know I was going to involve him with a speaking role!
@JudeLennonBooks @Littlelambtales I remember that dragon! The Story Fair at @KingsleyandCo_ was great and you were fantastic, @JudeLennonBooks
Did you know, today is have fun at work day? I always have lots of fun. Sometimes I meet dragons, sometimes I dress up and sometimes I get to share my books. Are you having fun today? #HaveFunAtWorkDay @LivLitCycle @Littlelambtales #LiverpoolWrites #LivLitCycle

We #CreateArt artists at @liverpoollighthouse had a great time preparing for #lunarnewyear today. We shared a #dragon poem, learned how to write ‘long’ in 2 different ways, drew our own dragon, shared impressive updates from last week’s #dooleyday work and had some great chats.
Great having a chinwag and wearing different hats this morning with fellow poet #JonathanAylett at @Calderstones . I’m looking forward to his forthcoming book of #poetry following his headlining appearance at #LiverBards last year (the night I host)…

It was great to deliver Laith’s copy of the Kings & Queens book to him this evening as part of the @LivLitCycle competition. He read his essay so well at @Lpoolcentlib on Saturday...
