We're so sad to hear today about the passing of Mishi Dulwich Morath, a wonderful and heartfelt poet who often lit up our mic and many of the spoken word and poetry events around London. He's also featured in our SWL anthology with a poem about addiction, "Birthday Meeting". Here's to you, Mishi. We'll sincerely miss you.
