The long sleeves and warm socks and cord trousers are coming out. I mean, the wellies and dog towels are coming out too, which isn’t so great. But mostly, YAY.

Mind you, last time I had a book out, we also had a BRAND NEW PUPPY so keep your fingers crossed for me - lightning could strike twice! 🤞🐶 ❤️

Last time I had a book come out, it was while I was having building work done. Never again I said! Let me concentrate on the book I said! Just had a builder confirm he can fit me in to RIP OUT MY KITCHEN - but only on Nov 30th. Which is the day ‘Kiss Chase with Darwin’ comes out. SO SUPER!!

Man who supported Brexit then fucked off to Monaco to avoid contributing a penny of his £15 billion fortune to public services makes the mistake of thinking anyone gives a shit what he thinks.

By the way Sue, I just read your poem ‘Father’. I just love that opening line about the wet dog - one of those “once read, never forgotten’ images that has really lodged and turned over in my mind xx

Yes I had written it off long ago so it was a complete lovely bonus surprise! They have had some troubles with funding apparently.

So I’m unloading the dishwasher to the soundtrack of some ecstatic trance this morning, because how else do you unload the dishwasher. And I throw my hands up in the air ready for the drop and what pops into my head? “Ooh, that’s a nice stretch for the lower back”. 🙄 🎹🎤 🕺 👵🏻

This pamphlet is as good as it looks and more. PRE ORDER IT YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO 💚 💙 🖤

Ha! I take it this was a “title comes first” poem? (As in, the idea for the title came first, not as in the title comes first on the page!)

Yep my unity merch is out in autumn 26 👍

I suspect it’s because we’re generally dicks.

Nina Parmenter @ninaparmenter.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

😂 well you’re the winner so far. (Not that this is a competition obvs, because poetry, as we know, is about uuuunityyyyyy)

Nina Parmenter @ninaparmenter.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

YES they are great for waking up an audience! (Not that I’ve ever needed to do that) (honest)

Ooh spoilt for choice, but i think the last is my favourite. Bloody love a long title :-)

Nina Parmenter @ninaparmenter.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Poets: I would love to hear your longest and most unashamedly specific poem titles. I’ll start with the relatively short and snappy “I Accidentally Spot the Fourth Dimension While Waiting at the Bus Stop”.

Enjoying the fact that the current poem I am working on will reveal an extra layer of meaning to those with a good knowledge of West Midlands bus routes around Coventry/Leamington in the late 1990s. It is not always the poet’s job to be inclusive, people 😂

Year 7 is a special time when all boys morph into someone from the wrong side of Croydon, even when they’re from a small Wiltshire village. “Nah brah, don’t make me wear one of dem fings. Uh nah, you so tight man.” 🙄 🤯

Question: if you live in a rural area with no mayor, who exactly does power get devolved to? Because if this means giving more responsibility to Wiltshire Council 😱 then yeah no thanks.

Absolutely amazed that Forestry England are going ahead with huge outdoor concerts this week despite a red weather warning. I cannot go as my body just would not cope. So that’s my £70 ticket down the pan. Rrrrrrr. I did not need to be any more grumpy!!
