If you’ve a film/poetry lover in your life and you’re looking for a stocking filler, Hollywood or Home might be the answer! Poems ranging from Top Gun to The Godfather to Dorothy Parker to Meryl Streep. Among the Sunday Times Books of 2023, it contains tears and laughter.
ALT Cover of Hollywood or Home by Kathryn Gray. Endorsement from Nick Laird: "Underpinning the comedy and satire... is a real pain as life's jolts and time' relentlessness.’
See you there tomorrow @writetoempower @ness_owen @parthianbooks !
Very excited to be reading at the clocktower in Hay-on-Wye this Saturday with a great bunch of poets!

I counted 11 blackbirds under my apple trees this morning - they all looked as jaunty as those on the cover of @wondykitten’s new book!

I'm not migrating to another platform - I get such good #writerlysupport here and that outweighs any negative feelings about other things and people. I'd love to get up to 4,000 followers and will follow you back if you are a #writer/#creativeperson.

My last day as Makar. It's been a joy. To @scotgov and @ByLeavesWeLive, to @historic_ally, the librarians, readers, writers of Scotland, to the gods and goddesses of poetry, eternal thanks. There will be another Makar, in due course. Me, I'm in my garret, having a wee lie doon.
