Hi Poppy, I loved this, and thank you for the beautiful things you say about my work. I also wanted to reiterate that it was such a pleasure to read together in London. I deeply admired your embodied performance. Reading is hard, but if you're doing it right you access some type of tightrope of concentrated meaning which, then, fuck, you have to stay on until the other side. Some of my harder poems still get me sometimes. Sending so much love.

Eughhhh thank you for this comment Niina ❤️
I know what you mean! And I’m glad you didn’t mind me using your book as a point of departure x
I also have a lot to say about raw vs clinical as the dichotomy but will save that for the next time we run into each other 😊
(and no way, I didn't mind at all 💜)
