At @saloneurope.bsky.social Madrid, I ran a workshop where we played with anonymity. The resulting writing was astounding and brave, so I am going to try and recreate it online. Join me? 'To Walk Invisible' Experiments in Anonymity | European Writers Sal share.google/7uZ636KVXgQn...

Come to Paris in November! Come and write, read, people watch, hang out, join my odyssey to eat the best ice cream (not the workshop), wander the arcades with Yara, it will be fun (and the European Writers are a lovely bunch, you won’t regret it).

We’ll hear from writers from around Europe, with readings responding to the theme of Voice. We’ll also read interesting poems and texts about Voice and think about the importance and meaning of our own voices being heard amongst the crowd.

On a train to Germany after the beautiful weekend in Madrid with @saloneurope.bsky.social - and all of what I absorbed is slowly sinking in. I feel like there are not enough notebooks in the world to hold it all. 💜🌟 Thank you gorgeous writing tribe.

Managed a quick #PoemsAbout #deadletters piece on the way to Madrid for the @saloneurope.bsky.social. Thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk 🙏💜
Black box with white letters of a poem:

dead letters 

some of the letters survived 
     but not all -
the k of kindness 
              lopped down
     mercilessly trampled 
underfoot -
           the c of compassion p of patience
  thrown into blazing fires
citizens of Hades rubbed their hands
    prepared new dictionaries - 
        and on and on
                   until the only ones left
spelled nothing we wanted
  to say
