From last night’s reading. Rare to have a lighting set up that matches the book cover.

Enjoying reading poet Rishi Dastidar’s new collection ‘Cherry Blossom at Nightbreak’ @ninearchespress.bsky.social Poems light as balloons - but burgeoning with meaning (s) 🐦‍⬛💛🌞 He performed at Irie’s event in Aberystwyth last night. Great energy (and poems!) in the room. @betarish.bsky.social

Next on my @forwardprizes.bsky.social shortlist reading list has been ‘Bycatch’ by @csmithpoet.bsky.social, published by @ninearchespress.bsky.social. I adored this collection, which traces the loss of memory and language to dementia, all the while holding on to gentle humour, tenderness, and love.
