30 days, 30 poems and a huge array of styles, substance and subject. I plan to write about the experience of picking a poem per day to share on Substack as it has truly transformed how I have consumed and processed poetry and I can feel it shift and shape the writing that is flowing already. There will be a long form piece, more of my own poems and maybe even a workshop or two (keep em peeled…). That said, there was only ever one topic I could finish on, and it’s the one that constantly thrums, leaving me enraged and distraught as it shines a light on injustice, prejudice and deep-rooted racism at the heart of the western world. The poet and poem say it better than I ever could so please do find out more on Sara M Saleh’s Instagram, and have a look at Smoketack Books’ Out of Gaza anthology. It is incredible. And finally, keep banging the drum for a ceasefire and holding those in power to account. Free, Free Palestine x
