Not every story in Narratives comes from mythology. Some are entirely new. Every legend has to begin somewhere... 📖 Out 1 September 2026. #Narratives #Poetry #Storytelling #OriginalWriting #SPClark #Booktok
Every poem in Narratives began with one question: What if there was more to the story? Sometimes that's all it takes to discover a new legend. 📖 Out 1 September 2026. #Narratives #Poetry #Storytelling #Mythology #SPClark #Booktok
The best monsters aren't frightening because of how they look. They're frightening because they remind us of ourselves. That's an idea running through Narratives, out 1 September 2026. Which mythical creature has always stayed with you? #Narratives #Poetry #Folklore #Mythology #SPClark #Booktok
Stories survive because we keep telling them. That's the idea behind Narratives, my new poetry collection inspired by mythology, folklore and original tales. Coming 1 September 2026. Which legend has never left your imagination? #Narratives #Poetry #Folklore #Mythology #SPClark
