For @pshares, I wrote about how male agency—often erased in media accounts of men enacting violence—is restored in two new satirical novels, Alex McElroy's THE ATMOSPHERIANS and Rahul Raina's HOW TO KIDNAP THE RICH. https://t.co/K9ZOVW7IgV https://t.co/zvjvjhRVQu

For @CraftLiterary, I had the delight of speaking to my former teacher Kiare Ladner about her novella NIGHTSHIFT, a story of obsession and escape in London's underworld. https://t.co/kjx8EhaXFq https://t.co/3YL4qwR0dm https://t.co/KTG0riUhzW

If you're in Glasgow this weekend, find new poems on whiteness, cars, and Happy Meals by me and @TheLeano, published by Beth Dynowski for the @OHGlasgow Festival. (Fun fact: we all met in @Anthony1983's workshop @poetryschool.) https://www.glasgowopenhousearts.co.uk/levenstreetpress https://t.co/eEoj9uTiyI

So honoured to be read by these poet-judges. Last year, in a strange time, I wrote these poems for workshops with @blas_falconer @seminewblack and Sharon Olds at @commofwriters and a course with @Langeskov at @uealdc. Read the work here🤰🏻https://t.co/ZTS15rfKti https://t.co/ZIAV8Pqhz3

Happy UK launch day to these two beauties: @V_V_G’s BROTHERLESS NIGHT, a questioning of radicalisation, love, and ethics; and Nicola Dinan’s BELLIES, on the self, relationships, and roots. Go get a copy of Brotherless Night to see the stunning UK cover! https://t.co/SeoO4uE5xv
