Proofreading my Hardly War for @andothertweets - UK&EU Mar 2025, @WavePoetry 2016. Though the poem is about the relentless carpet-napalm-bombing of Korea by the US 1950-53, it mirrors the genocidal war against Palestine. Same war. American War. #freepalestine
I wrote a new blog post for @action__books on all things horror - check it out here!
