Duw duw! I'm so pleased, and proud that this came from an open vote - so thanks to all the readers and advocates and allies who have lifted me up in the last year. Genuinely blindsided by this, and humbled. Thanks @hayfestival.bsky.social x www.hayfestival.com/news/blog.as...

It's the final week of my solo exhibition #LiarLiar at Aberystwyth Arts Centre on until 5pm Sunday 15th June. Or, the next best thing is this talk with #FfionRhys, big thanks to #CultureColony for making it coherent - culturecolony.com/en/media/vid...

A gallery installation. With white walls and a grey floor a strip of carpet runs away from our viewpoint towards the corner of the room. On the right is a projection screen, painted pink with an image on it. To the left, facing it, a wooden structure with four more screens mounted on the front. The lighting is low.

Phew! It's in the world. Yesterdays social media was like being pressure-hosed all day (not complaining) but today feels good. Hope those that buy it enjoy it. 💚

I'm still bewildered / delighted when I hear how far those pencil scribbles in a notebook have travelled! Thanks @heyteachertom.bsky.social x

Thought I’d drop this here. Posted @withregram • @parthian_books - A Dictionary of Light is here! The Rhys Davies Short Story Award Anthology brings together twelve bold, tender, brilliant stories. Join us next Wednesday 27/11, 6pm at @swanseastones for the launch of this wonderful collection.

A stack of paperbacks viewed from above, one rests on the top of the pile at an angle. The book has a pale cover with a green photo in the centre alongside the title: A Dictionary of Light.

It's been some time since I woke up with a club-stamp AND full recollection - 1 week ago today I was very happy to be interviewed by the amazing @sanagoyalkotecha.bsky.social - part of #grantabooks & @serpents-tail.bsky.social debut showcase (publication 13/03/25). I look verrry serious here...

An image of my wrist and closed hand in morning light resting on a white cotton sheet (hotel bed) with a smudged club stamp of a bird, the morning after.

A small stage with two seated people with microphones. On the left a white man with short hair and a blue shirt is talking. He looks serious, in that moment. On the right is the interviewer who is listening, a brown woman in a blue checked dress with long hair.
