Recently had my first poem published in Ink Sweat & Tears and I'm working on my first collection, focussing on grief, love, joy, hope, and nature. Looking forward to sharing more!

Many thanks to the editorial team at @inksweatandtears.co.uk for publishing "Black Cherry Ice Cream"! I’m working on my first collection at the moment, so seeing this come out is a really important moment for me.

Would love to know what you think!

What moves you?
A 'melting [...] faster than we can catch it.'

During my final curation, I frame each poem by what I think moves the speaker.
