#ScribesAndMakers Sep 22: Promotion day. Self or someone else. Or both.
I'm currently seething that our Reform-led local council has cancelled all plans for National Poetry Day events. This could be simply down to them having no poetry in their tiny rotten souls, of course, but I suspect the fact that Staffordshire's current Poet Laureate is queer and living with chronic illness may have something to do with it.
Scarlett Ward is her name and she's super.
