Mark was so lovely to work with and I believe auditions for future waves open on the 20th September— definitely don’t miss this window, it doesn’t open very often! Lovely to have @VictoriaSpires_Poetry as my wave-mate as well!

Rewriting my post I was being way too polite: fuck off to this fascism, fuck this bigotry, fuck this ignorance and hatred. I stand with Love, I stand with freedom, I stand with choice and autonomy and human rights, I stand in solidarity with all of my trans friends and family 🏳️‍⚧️

Jen’s magic is universal, her poetry speaks to people in a way that is difficult to quantify and impossible to imitate. #JenFeroze #ADressWithDeepPockets #ThePoetryBusiness #Pamphlet #SmithDoorstop #Friendship #FriendshipPoetry #IKnowHer

This pamphlet is an absolute joy to read, and my favourite ‘February Half-Term’ (Spoiler: that’s me 🤣) makes me cry every single time. Jen has a knack of saying exactly what you need to hear when you need to hear it.

In ‘A Dress With Deep Pockets’ @jenferoze.bsky.social creates an ode to friendship — fierce, tender, honest, these poems shine with love & understanding of how it feels to move through the world as a mother, a friend, as someone who’s gotten to middle-age without working out who they want to be!

a picture of the front cover of ‘A Dress With Deep Pockets’ by Jen Feroze, winner of the Poetry Business International Book & Pamphlet Prize judged by Jane Clarke and published by Smith | Doorstop. The front cover is a deep claret red and the pamphlet is held up in front of a geometrically painted wall in shades of teal and grey.
