Another early morning, this one by choice, and I spot a blue figure, posed as if climbing a wall in the #OldTown of #Edinburgh

Why? Who knows 🤷‍♂️ Even resorting to Google didn't provide any obvious answers 🙂

A editora britânica #Canongate decidiu liderar o caminho e abrir um canal na rede social #Mastodon – uma forma de tentar depender menos do #Twitter. https://www.publishnews.com.br/materias/2022/11/28/canongate-decide-explorar-mastodon-para-depender-menos-do-twitter

Enjoying ‘A Ballet Of Lepers - A Novel And Other Stories’ by Leonard Cohen. Before Cohen wrote massive hits like ‘Hallelujah’ ‘So Long Marianne’ and ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’ he wrote poetry and fiction. This book is so lively, vivid, gorgeously written, perfect weekend read! Now put your scratchy Cohen vinyl on and read this book out now with #Canongate highly recommend!

Last night ‘The Fire People’ won the Books Are My Bag Readers Award for poetry, love and thanks to the readers who voted for this. So awesome to be part of this trailblazing 1990’s book, this was the first time I saw my work in a real book, a huge moment for so many Black British writers. BIGlove to Lemn and ‘The Fire People’ poets and next generation ‘More Fiya’ poets too! BIGlove! #BooksAreMyBag #BookTwitter #BAMBReadersAwards #PoetryToot #poets #BookToot #Canongate #SalenaGodden #LemnSissay
