Not one but two films in the official selection for the Poetry Film competition at Indie Cork - Coyote Wedding by Brittani Sonnenberg produced for the Visible Poetry Project, and Being & Being Empty are both going to be shown in Cork on Sunday 14 October, one at 3pm and one at 5pm.

​And, even better, I am looking forward to going to the festival.

Launched yesterday at a very lively and packed event, the National Poetry Library at the Southbank Centre is staging the world's first Instagram poetry exhibition: featuring 27 still image poems and 15 filmpoem winners from over 1,000 submissions to its competition. I really enjoyed the three live readings as well as the other work on show. It runs until 1st July 2018, the exhibition is free and open Tuesday to Sunday, 11am - 8pm.

My piece included in the exhibition is 'Being and being empty'

Very proud to have been a KU Talent 2015 finalist. The awards ceremony was amazing, with many inspiring stories and successes. The speech and awards were made by Sir Trevor McDonald. All in all, a very lovely evening. A very big thank you to Kingston University for making me and all the finalists feel valued, championed and supported.
