Delighted to share the cover of Amira’s first UK book. She’s a young Palestinian in Gaza, living in the Rafah camp after unimaginable loss. She’s remarkable. Habibi is a book of poems, short fiction, memory fragments, a long interview with me and translations. News soon: @renardpress.com spring 2027

Replying to @celestepewter.bsky.social

My ex's parents never talked to him about his behavior, and largely wrote it off as "boys will be boys." We know what happened to me. We know what happened to this poor Cornell student. Have conversations early, and help your kids understand accountability, courage and empathy early.

Always slightly disappointing when an uncrewed SpaceX rocket works rather than blowing up in an enjoyable spectacular explosion.

When was the last time our Secretary of State for Culture displayed anything approaching this degree of public enthusiasm for our world-class arts industry? Has she been seen anywhere? Given impending charter renewal... did she even bother to visit a single prom?

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

I've been thinking about this a lot because of all the talk about how Dolly Parton "didn't take sides" and I think she's proof that if you don't want to talk about politics you don't have to, but she took sides with her money & her actions and her side was pretty clear. So is Sheeran's, I guess.

I fucking hate "I don't take sides" people, which is just siding with the oppressor and hoping you'll have plausible deniability. You're not apolitical, you're not neutral, you're just doing this:

Delighted to share that Writing While Caring is now available to buy. I’m anti-Amazon but we must acknowledge that unpaid carers are frequently poor and housebound so here: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1804472352/ We’re keeping the cost as low as we can. May it give you strength and comfort and please share

Best places to try and get a book of mixed essay published? Drawing on my doctoral work on magical realism and trauma, music, art, books, writing, crisps, owls...see where I am going with breadth. I am not wildly keen on the word quirky, but that. BREADTH. Won't be a submission from my agency.
