An acapella performance of a Thousand Statements, the full thing will be out as a song soon enough.

Opining on algorithmic nonsense and a world that still confuses virtue with tribal bias. You understand.

Special thanks to @snspoetry 🙏🏽

Cumha (pronounced roughly 'koo-va' or 'koo-ha') is an Irish word for a deep, poignant sense of loss, homesickness, or intense longing.

I wrote this piece for @snspoetry drafts night last year and didn't know what I was doing. But there's a beautiful connection in knowing most of us are just making things up, making life up, as we go along. So I'm ok with that. Because it is better than not doing anything at all.

(I had to chop it up a little and speed it up 0.1 of a second to please the IG gods.)

Had a blast performing @snspoetry First time ever performing spoken word and sharing some of my poems - which have been hiding in the drawer for over a year 🙈

Thank you to @mary.roubos and @mrsols for holding the space and offering such a supportive community 🙏🏼🤗

Thank you to everyone who came!

Can’t wait for the next one! 😍

As it was #worldpoetryday thought I’d share this performance from Deaft #4.
It’s unfinished and untitled, just trying to share more positivity in these heavy times.

The things left unsaid, in a smart phone world 📱

Thank you to @snspoetry for having me back a second time (it's taken me actual months to upload this) where I read a poem I wrote for one of their Draft Nights. A gorgeous evening of scratched plays, music, singing and spoken word.

(Edited down from a prattling over five mins, to please the IG gods.)

For my sister, Helen, who actually did finish her text to me ❤️

Don't leave the things unsaid.
