One from last nights Pies and Peas performance! A new one called ‘There’s an App for That’. I mean, don’t get me wrong, if anyone tried to take Merlin from me I’d be having words but… it does worry me how much we seem to be losing of ourselves as we hand so much over to technology. Thoughts? #poetry #spokenword #poetrygram #screentime #human

Can you help me say that my very first poetry collection ‘The Quiet Hum’ sold out?! There are just 71 copies remaining and at £6.50 each they are a steal! Whether you read it, use it as a coaster or kindling - it’s a win win! I had the very best mentor in @henrynormalpoet when writing this so if you think it’s crap, blame him! 🤣 #onlykidding #help #poetry #goal
