Send me a prompt
To celebrate the release of my new collection, This Time of Life is Meant for Savages, I have been writing personalised poems on my typewriter for anyone who sends in a prompt. I have found writing like this very fulfilling & would love to continue the project. So, if you are reading this, please send me a word or phrase along with your address & I will post you a typewritten poem!
