I’m thrilled to share that ‘Survivor’s Notebook,’ a collection of my prose poems and photographs about life after cancer treatment, will be published by @acre_books in September next year. I’m very lucky to be able to work with editors @LisaAmpleman & Nicola Mason & Acre again 🙏 https://t.co/aOYhklwg3C
