A gorgeous thread 🧵 of some of tonight’s poems from @RaymondAntrobus @CalebFemi_ and @theresa_lola in partnership with @McrLitFest 🙌👇🏼👏🏼
We start a beautiful evening of poetry at @McrPoetryLib with a reading from @RaymondAntrobus, from his new collection Signs, Music, a meditation on fatherhood and masculinity, linking his experience of becoming a father with that of being parented.
