This book is very good. It also features a poem by me that is published elsewhere under the title 'Slag' but in this iteration it's 'I Have Loved Coal' because I'm trying to be well behaved amongst this very prestigious company.

I have set up shop on Bluesky as Emily Cotterill. Might even stop being an annoying two accounts person over there.

I am living for Wolf Hall's poetry critique scene feat. Dudley Dursley in something that looks alarmingly close to leopard print.

I noticed that they sell this stuff in the Iceland round the corner from my house and honestly how will I sleep at night knowing bottles and bottles of this cursed viscosity are so near.
