Adolf Althoff
is used to riding tigers

so when Gestapo soldiers
come looking for Irene

he plies them with Schnapps
while Irene squeezes

into a passage
tight as a magicianโ€™s box โ€“

Just before Christmas, I caught up with @CalebFemi_ @ceciliaknapp @theresa_lola and @RuffneckRefugee for @WasafiriMag about their times as @STWevents Young Peoples' Laureate for London. Was a pleasure to hit record and listen to four great minds at play: https://www.wasafiri.org/article/poetry-as-a-tool-of-their-own-choosing-in-conversation-with-the-young-peoples-laureates/

I am delighted to have my poem Telling The Bees on Ink Sweat and Tears today. Its inspired by the rural ritual of whispering secrets to the bees, but what do you tell a creature that already knows everything..

about the failing crop, a marriage party,
a stricken cow...
