I’m absolutely delighted that my pamphlet Ovarium, published by The Emma Press in June, is one of three shortlisted poetry collections for the East Anglian Book Awards 2022.
The Awards are a partnership between Jarrold, the Eastern Daily Press and the National Centre for Writing, supported by UEA Faculty of Arts and Humanities. Category winners will be announced in January.

I will be reading for ignitionpress at The Horse Hospital in Bloomsbury on Thursday 15 September, 7-8.45pm, and then for The Emma Press at The George and Monkey in Islington on Sunday 18 September, 4-8pm. I’m really excited to be reading for both my publishers in the space of a week!

I am excited to be stepping into 2022, a new year of writing. In June my second poetry pamphlet, Ovarium, will be published by The Emma Press. I found out late last year that my first full collection has been shortlisted in Live Canon’s 2021 Collection Competition, and I am now waiting to hear if it gets selected as one of the three winners. Even if it’s a near miss, the shortlisting has been very encouraging. I am also deep into the latest draft of my second novel, which is a happy and stimulating place to be.
