Beryl the Feral

..a haven for poets who don't recognise themselves among the 'literati' and the generally-accepted canon."

A creative collaboration in my local area, with a triptych of witches. I think we brewed a strong medicine, for all the hearts in attendance. I was super-pleased with the blend of interactive creativity, magic, and deep-entertainment.

When Sharena from the National Literacy Trust asked if I'd like to be one of the mentors in this National Poetry Centre initiative, it was her grassroots values that made it a yes.

If you are one of these generous souls, who took some time to post your words, thankyou. I promise I didn't pay these people:

It's sweet to have been accepted into this climate awareness book; for sale through HOT POETS, and in schools across the UK as a resource for National Poetry Day 2026.

Apparently it's the Season for poetry, and I'm going to be busy!

It wasn’t just about the books. Dare I say, they were the beautiful and supportive background to the constant human connections as familiar and new faces came to listen to the lunchtime readings, joined in with the workshops, commissioned three minute poems...

My poems quite often turn up at firesides, in classes, and at special events like weddings. But it's next level to hear from other artists like Hannah Yee

Bringing some flirtatious fire and cheeky love-wit, Beryl appears for a fireside poetry gig at a Beltane Bardic ceremony, this May in Dartington Glade

It's happened again! Another creation is heading out into the world; but this time after a fun collaboration with the genius artist...
