Conversations For Me (unfinished piece)

Conversations For Me (unfinished piece)

Does it bother you that people don’t care what’s inside your mind?That after they’ve exhausted their opinionsYou have choices.To share yours that settle like dust on an untended tableOr sit in silence like ignorance swimming through cold city chaos How do you feel knowing that when they ask a questionStart a conversationIt’s a trick for you treat them by opening the doorTheir words and opinions…

I Find My Strength in Simple Things by Desree 6. Good Earth by Caroline Teague 7. Talk You Round Till Dusk by Rebecca Tantony 8. She Grrrowls edited by moi 9. Circles ⭕️ written by moi I’ve seen Agnes Török at an online events and they were great! I’ve also seen Hannah Raymond-Cox in person and featured Desree at @shegrrrowls before, who was incredible! I have Rebecca Tantony’s books and this is beautifully written with illustrations by @annahiggie, and like all Burning Eye poets, great on stage too! I recently worked with Caroline Teague on a project and they are not only a joy to work with and a pleasure to hang out with, but a fantastic poet and all-round artist. I don’t know Penny Pepper’s work but she’s defined herself as a ‘working class old timer disabled activist’ so sounds pretty rad to me! I’ve also popped on the She Grrrowls anthology* that I edited as there are about 10 copies of each of these books left! You can also buy my book Circles from me directly as I have many many copies still! 💕 *featuring Joelle Taylor (just award led the TS Eliot Prize!), Bridget Minamore, Sabrina Mahfouz, Selina Nwulu, Aisling Fahey, Sophie Fenella, Jasmine Cooray, Esther Poyer, Belinda Zhawi and Rachel Long. With poems by myself and Rowena Knight. Beautifully illustrated by Natalie Cooper. Also available as an audiobook read by most poets from the anthology. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poetrybook #poetrylovers #poetryporn #poetryofinstagram #poetryislife #poetrygram #poetryofig #burningeye #burningeyebooks #burningeyepoet #burningeyepoets #burningeyepublisher #poetryschool #thepoetryschool #carminamasoliver #spokenword #spokewordartists #performancepoets #performancepoet #performancepoetry #spokewordpoetry #spokenwordpoet #feminism #feministpoetry #books #buybooks #buylocal (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYobQH8snXG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Katie and Rebecca. Walking along the banks of the Thames after a workshop at The Poetry School. My homework is to "notice things"; I can't help noticing these two coming towards me. "Can I ask why your dressed like that?" "It's Waitangi Day!" they say, as if that explains anything. Turns out this is New Zealand's national day, when Kiwi's around the world celebrate the founding of their country, in 1840. For young Kiwi's in London that means dressing up as national produce and going on a pub crawl around the Circle Line: these two are dressed as cans of V, an energy drink from New Zealand. "So is the pub crawl over now?" "Yes, but we're going out again tonight. First we're going home, to get changed." Luckily, they live nearby. #streetphotography #londonmoments #waitangiday #poetryschool
