Autumn Poetry Gigs



Hiya Lovelies! I hope you are adjusting to the change in season and have been reading poetry and buying poetry books  and supporting lots of indie bookshops and poetry publishers for today's National Poetry Day and Saturday's Bookshop Day!

I have been adding gigs to the calendar and layers to my wardrobe in preparation for taking Windfalls out of the Zoom sphere and back to some in person events and I am very much looking forward to sharing the new poems with you in my favourite way...
