“The poems frame childhood experiences perfectly and are coated with Lime’s hallmark of joy.” Coral Rumble

I first discovered this poet’s work through her self-published poetry zine Cornflakes and Gravy:

My homemade kids' poetry bookling, #CornflakesAndGravy, was made by me in my shed, to sell at local events. If you would like a copy, they are £5 incl P&P UK, £10 incl P&P US (DM for £ elsewhere) to https://t.co/0mieZFak6H, then please DM me your postal address. Thank you! 🥣 pic.twitter.com/5oAE48HEFe
