My début pamphlet, Small Change, received a wonderful welcome into the world at Keats House on 18 January 2013.

As Nii Parkes of flipped eye publishing put it, London laid on a beautiful snow tribute:

Anjan Saha opened the evening with a lovely poem invoking Keats, who I’m certain was listening from the back. Two of my favourite poets, Jacqueline Saphra and Kayo Chinonyi also read, and Jacob Sam-La Rose was the wonderful host he always is. So many family and friends ploughed through the snow to be there, that it was a full house and we sold out of books! Look how happy I am:
