Announcing the cover reveal of my debut #poetry collection #EatTheStorms coming soon from #HedgehogPoetryPress EAT THE STORMS- COVER REVEAL

Yesterday The Hedgehog Poetry Press released a viewing of the cover of my debut poetry collection Eat the Storms.

When I was 16 yers old, I wrote a letter to myself and filed it away in the back of the attic. I found it a few years ago and it reminded me that I was expected to become a very famous fashion designer, that I should clothe the world at ridiculous prices and be interviewed on…
