I am so honoured to be invited to feature as a poet in one of the most amazing cultural events of Nottingham. ‘Women Say Stuff‘ is an annual gathering, celebrating the Women’s voices. Hosted by the Women of DIY poets, including the very gifted Lytisha Tunbridge, the occasion will mark on 8 March, at City Arts – Nottingham, the ninth fabulous celebration. The event will also be available on zoom, for the ones unable to make their way into Nottingham. More details are soon coming up on the event’s Facebook page: ‘Women Say Stuff 9‘.

Nottingham, 2019

I’m Simona

One day, I tumbled from a tiny star called Dream and landed in a cup of Hope, just beyond the zone of hard work, where daily wishes meet reality.

I’ve always dreamed of visiting Antarctica, though I haven’t made it there yet! Until then, I journey through the intricate landscapes of the human body in my work at the hospital, tracking the unseen stories of cells.

When I step outside my comfort zone, you might find me on a train to Eastbourne, Matlock, or Canterbury, breathing in the fresh air and gathering inspiration. I return with pockets full of poetic ideas, though time rarely lets me write them all down.

London’s endless rainy days often set the stage for my impromptu singing performances on my way to work. I love dancing too, especially the waltz, though I’m a bit too shy to twirl in the rain.

I have a soft spot for pasta, coffee, chocolate, and a good laugh. Politics might elude me, but the human soul does not. And if there’s one thing I believe in, it’s this: Love is our strongest emotion, survival instinct, and essential need.
