The Times – Soul Dogs
In Vashti Bunyan’s Wayward I came across the concept of ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ dogs, which I pursued to the back teeth of the internet (where people see their dead dogs in cloud formations) because I’ve now had two. I hopefully did them proud in this piece for The Times. Read here.
The Moth Poetry Prize Shortlist
In February 2024 I was shortlisted for The Moth Poetry Prize 2023 judge by Hannah Sullivan with my poem ‘And Other Mirages’. The Irish Times wrote:
Hannah Sullivan, TS Eliot Prize winner and associate professor of English at New College, Oxford, has chosen her shortlist for this year’s Moth Poetry Prize: Pencilling the Dates by Catherine Ann Cullen, And Other Mirages by Jade Angeles Fitton, Things I’m Against by Lance Larsen and Extinction Picnic by Craig van Rooyen.
Angeles Fitton’s memoir Hermit was published by Penguin Random House last year. Her work has appeared in the Guardian, Independent, Vog
Her poem gives us “a quirky, slight, sideways look at a recent afternoon” which “begins and ends during an exercise class in a swimming pool, the present dilated between two songs from the golden age of pop”, says Sullivan. “Fastening its attention to small, irregular things, like the bobbing wildflower swimming caps, the poem becomes an exercise in evacuating the ego (‘not me, he whispers, not I’).”

The Fence – Voyage of the Damned
For The Fence I wrote about a what I thought was going to be a wildlife cruise while on honeymoon in Cuba. I had been reading Moby Dick the night before and all was not what I had expected. Read here.
The Spectator – Finding my family roots in Spain
For The Spectator I wrote about finding my family roots in a tiny mountain village in Asturias, Spain, where my great-grandmother, Angeles Martinez, lived and died. And why my grandfather chose to keep his Spanish roots a secret for most of his life. Read here.
The Guardian – The Ritual Turning of The Stone
For The Guardian I wrote about the ritual ‘Turning of the Stone’ in my local village – an ancient ritual that occurs every November 5th.
Vogue – Lockdown on a Remote Island
I wrote about life on a 3 mile long, 1/2 mile wide island during a four month lockdown; learning about interspecies interconnection and when it’s time to leave something you love for Vogue. Read Here.
