Photo Blog: The Forward Prizes 2025 in London

I am so thrilled for Abeer Ameer, winner of Best Single Poem Written at the Forwards, as well as Zoƫ Brigley, Kristian Evans and team at the wonderful Modron Magazine. Abeer is such an important poet of witness, so needed in these times and her words will hopefully, now, reach a much wider audience.






Also pictured… my book predictions last night (close, but not full marks) and what I took to be a good sign for Abeer on my walk over…



It was such a delight to see lots of lovely poets in real life too!

Birthday Treat 2: London for Sierra Ferrell & Nina Hamnett

We had a wonderful trip to London to see the magical unmatchable talent that is Sierra Ferrell in Kentish Town and I also ran off for a sneak peak at Nina Hamnett's wonderful new green room at Tate Britain, getting there early (as the doors opened), I had the room and Nina all to myself. I've long had a fascination with Nina, and my poetry on her has been published in Poetry Wales  and been read at events with Celine's Soho Salon at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery.  I also featured her in a tour organised with Literature Wales in London many years ago now... and I am currently working on a longer project featuring Nina, her art and her life. The sea, the sea, the sea Is such a salty, magic place If you find yourself goin' under You'll remember the taste The waves, the waves, the waves How they're puttin' out my flame Woah, that's okay, I should be more tame
