Farah Ghafoor @farahghafoor.bsky.social has had a year full of well-earned events & successes for her debut poetry collection, Shadow Price from @houseofanansi.bsky.social. So I'm especially grateful that she made time to read and write about my forthcoming book, which shares some themes with hers.

I love this concept for a folio: unpublished poems you removed from your forthcoming book. For me, that was "All Night I Stare at the TV Screen." I wrote it after weeks watching & reading about 'Jennifer Fairgate' & the strange phenomenon of fixating on the deaths of strangers.
