Last month my dog got published. This month it’s the turn of my 14 year old nephew Kaz! His photograph Hong Kong Storm has been chosen by Proverse Publishing and Chinese University Press as the book cover of Mingled Voices 7: the International Proverse Poetry Prize Anthology 2023! The anthology launches at the Proverse Spring Reception at the Helena May April 27. My poems Imagine Nation and Tidal Slave are among the poems that won places and I’ll be reading Tidal Slave at the event.

‘Hong Kong Storm’
Sadie and Kaz

My psychedelic poem War of Voices just landed on the Voice Your Passion poetry channel! Thanks to wordsmith extraordinaire Dr. Ahmed Elbeshlawy for the kind introduction and for inviting me to read. His latest poetry collection Unappeasable Ghosts is a precious gem and I can’t wait to interview him for a new podcast series exploring the mercurial relationship between mental health and imagination.

You can listen to me reading War of Voices for VYP below and buy the poetry anthology in which the poem was first published here! All the other poets on the channel are phenomenal so please don’t forget to subscribe!!! And if poetry’s not your vibe, Sharp Pains will be debuting on VYP soon! (That should sufficiently lower the tone! 🤣)

Thanks to Hong Kong Buzz for publishing this piece on my Mental Ideas Podcast‘s AIB Awards nomination, film Transference‘s release (available NOW on Apple, Amazon and loads of other indie film platforms!), Proverse Poetry Prize anthology place and other happenings in the buzzy month of November!

AIB Awards: Virtual Awards Shows Nov 13 & Nov 16!
Transference: Global Release Nov 10!
Local “Media Star” begs for help lugging bread around! 🤣
