Things I've Done

Presence

"So here you are.
Through a series of chances, you find yourself at a séance. The man before you, typing away on his laptop, presents a curious piece of writing: a short story by the Italian writer Cesare Pavese. It's dreamlike but vivid: the calloused hands, the scarlet poppies. Who is he, this translator? Can you trust him? What kind of faith do you have in this man who claims to channel the voice of the dead?"

The chapbook is published by Translator's House Press. They specialise in exciting, experimental writings about translation.

Cambridge Poetry Festival

In October 2026 we held the first revived Cambridge Poetry Festival (Reg. Charity No: 1209521).
The festival is a celebration of the art form across the heart of the city which aims to bring poetry into the city by both uniting the thriving poetry scene in Cambridge and presenting poetry as accessible for all. We held workshops, children's events, poetry readings, and discussion panels at a number of venues.
The festival also runs an annual project with the Cambridge School of Art named READINGS, which invites collaboration between poets and visual artists. You can read more on our website.

CB1 Poetry

I help organise and regularly compère CB1 Poetry, a open mic night held at the Town and Gown, Cambridge on the first Sunday of each month. We occasionally have guest poets come along but there are always open-mic slots and the audience is incredibly welcoming and supportive. Whether you're a seasoned vet or an open-mic newbie, we'd love to have you there!
