Last Saturday: National Smoke and Mirrors Day, online reading

On Saturday 29 March 2025 it was National Smoke and Mirrors Day, and Louise Longson invited me to be a feature poet at an online reading, as part of her 'Last Saturday' series on the theme of illusion, mystery, magic and all sorts of trickery. I shared three poems, on the slightly adjacent theme of women and nature, and inherent embodiment.

 It was a great night with fabulous poets such as JLMMorton, James McConchie, Jane Burn, Paul Atten Nash and others.
