My 34th Interview with creative women is now online, with poet Emma Towey chatting to me this time. Her poem Salt Cake featured in the autumn edition of Poetry in Motion, a quarterly publication of poetry on stationery.

Considered, design-led stationery, folded, cut and pressed by hand in Kilkenny.

Introducing Salt Cake by Emma Towey @memoryandmoss, the autumn 2026 edition of Poetry in Motion. Each quarter I publish a poem on stationery with the aim to explore the connections that could be sparked by poetry and your handwritten word.

The joy of a blank notebook. How will you fill yours this autumn?

I’ve just started reading Deborah Levey’s book My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein. I don’t know what it is about reading about artists and writers in the 1920’s that brings me back to myself, but it just does. They are inspiring, relentless, crazy and often penniless (I like that the least!) but they inspire me to be courageous when sometimes my courage needs bolstering.
