🎙️I’m so excited to say that my most in-depth interview I did with Spoken Label is now live (part 1 is, part 2 coming soon!) on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Podcasts. The full podcast can now be listened to on my Substack Threads of Hope for free🎙️
In this first part, I talk about where my poetry began, my love of metaphors and similes to express myself, my first book Darkness & Light, running the First Line Poets Project and the First Line Poet’s Anthology, the complex journey of publishing Sins & Sunflowers, my favourite lightbulb moments, the history behind the poem Weeds, the process behind the varying structures I have with my work, a shout-out to my man, my love for Taylor Swift and Emily Dickinson.
I will be sharing the 40 minute interview in shorter clips on my Instagram page over the next week. But the full podcast can be watched on YouTube and listened to via Spotify or Apple Podcasts, all links are provided in this newsletter!
Part 2 is coming soon! I will be talking about my new writing workshop series Holding Space, my journey on Substack and starting my newsletter Threads of Hope, discovering my neurodivergence and how that affects me as a writer and creative, highlights of my career so far, what is coming next and some hints of projects I am planning at the moment, where you can find my work on socials, how you can support me and where you can buy my books.
It was a wonderful opportunity and I’m feeling really proud of myself! Stay tuned for part 2 going live soon.
