Readings

I’ve participated in poetry reading events with Pighog Press, New Writing South and Red Roaster Café.

I’m lucky to currently be completing a residency at The Open Bakery in Kemptown, Brighton – where I’m writing some short poems based on their patisseries and going ‘behind the scenes’ to interview staff about their work with and passion for the Bakery.
