This is the most terrible news. Gboyega is missing - please RT, especially if you're in the UK. I'm thinking so much of Gboyega and his family and friends at this desperately worrying time.

It's publication today! Incredibly proud & happy that this book is now out in the world. Thank you to #NeilAstley @BloodaxeBooks & to #VidyanRavinthiran & @SeniSeneviratne
for their friendship & compassion as we worked together. It has been a privilege.

There’s so much in this interview/book/project at the heart of any radically creative critique of how we live: revaluing the supposedly peripheral and ephemeral; letting go of originality as a vanity; exploring repetition and thinking by doing. Great stuff from @rebeccamjohnson!
In her book “Small Fires,” the British academic Rebecca May Johnson explains why we need to “blow up the kitchen” — her phrase for the wholesale dismantling of the way we think about cooking. nyti.ms/43JOm0n

Attention! Do you write poetry? I'm looking for as many new & established queer voices as possible for a brilliant Queer YA anthology that I'm pulling together. Do get in touch if you have any poems (previously published or not) to share! Pls Retweet to help spread the word.
