Me and my book and Jan Carson and her book Quickly, While They Still Have Horses all in the same magical moment in No Alibis Bookstore 📚✨🐎
A wee run into No Alibis Bookstore to sign some more copies of #quicklywhiletheystillhavehorses and I bumped into Milena Williamson next to her brilliant (also signed) new poetry collection
So delighted to be featured on this first episode, talking about a favourite Bill Manhire poem (Bill was kind enough to do a reading for us too, tune in to hear it!)
