I have the privilege, nay the pleasure, of welcoming Bridie Squires to Tarot DMs. She’s a playwright, a performance artist, an educator, and a producer. There’s something about the written word in Nottingham, isn’t there?
I had the pleasure, once upon a time, of dancing out of Lord Byron’s bedroom. I’ve collected books of D.H. Lawrence. I’ve heard the magnificent Georgina Wilding perform last year, but Bridie Squires is the most famous Nottingham poet I’ve spoken to so far. Hi!
01/02/2026, 14:19 - Bridie Squires:
Hello, Finbarre. Thanks so much for having me and for the lovely introduction. I’m not too sure about the most famous Nottingham poet. But yeah, I’m very flattered that you would say that. So thank you.
01/02/2026, 14:21 - Finbarre: You mentioned briefly that you’ve been sorting out your house over there, how it going so far?
01/02/2026, 14:22 - Finbarre: An Imbolc-inspired cleanup, the chance to finally put the very last of the last Christmas decorations away?
01/02/2026, 14:23 - Bridie Squires:
It’s going well, thank you. I am currently surrounded by laundry to put away. I think both me and my partner have felt this sudden surge of energy to clean. Yesterday I was cleaning the bathrooms and we’ve been tidying and we’ve had it in the diary for ages to have a good clothes sort out.
We kind of scheduled it according to the new moon, sorry, the full moon, which is tonight and then realised that it’s actually Imbolc today as well. So, or Imbolg, I believe it can be pronounced both ways.
I’m still learning about the pagan festivals, but we’re really jumping on this energy. It was nice and sunny yesterday.
So that really gave a surge and yeah, today we’re just kind of continuing on that.
I’m planning to do a little ritual later to say thank you to the goddess Brigid and welcoming the new energy. It’s been such a long time coming throughout the winter and now we’re getting these first sniffs of spring.
So it’s moving. We’re still in the thick of chaos. I’m looking forward to talking in between the cleaning. Feels quite symbolic.
01/02/2026, 14:26 - Finbarre:
And right at the beginning of the year, I drew a single tarot card, the Three of Cups, and I thought, my goodness, I have so many parties to attend! This will be a gathering of loved ones, a time to celebrate and bring in the new year.
Unfortunately, fate played a slight joke in that I completely broke my ankle. We are talking slipping on black ice and, well, put it this way, I haven’t looked at the original x-rays. I daren’t. They were that bad.
Now I’m standing on one leg with pretty much what I can only describe as a peg leg, one of these futuristic-looking eye walk contraptions. But with it yesterday, I went out for my first walk in the almost springtime sunshine and saw snowdrops and saw the local crows that we feed on a daily basis popped out to say hello as well.
It does feel like there is something in the air. So, yeah, the perfect day to do a big clean and they’re also inspiring me looking around my room. This patch is tidy, but the rest of the house, not so much.
As I’m hobbling around the one leg, I think I’ve got an excuse. I could swap it out for a mop.
01/02/2026, 14:28 - Finbarre: Wait, is that a WOLF MOON tonight?
01/02/2026, 14:29 - Bridie Squires: I think it’s the Snow Moon!
01/02/2026, 14:30 - Bridie Squires: Sorry to hear about your ankle!
01/02/2026, 14:31 - Finbarre: I have enlisted my two tinies as minions and they’re still bringing me tea so far so good!
01/02/2026, 14:31 - Bridie Squires:
I saw some snowdrops for the first time this year too on Tuesday. Wednesday. I’ve been attending a nature and health workshop delivery training by the Natural Academy and spent some time at Windmill Community Gardens, which I’d never been to before.
Myself and a bunch of others, I think there’s five or six of us in total, are learning about how to deliver outdoor activities for people to improve their health and wellbeing. And there, saw some snowdrops. So that was really beautiful, lovely metaphor for the new energy.
01/02/2026, 14:33 - Finbarre:
Well, speaking of new beginnings and a quick reminder for anyone that hasn’t heard Tarot DMs before, what we’re going to do is use a card which symbolizes the month. That will be given to every single guest I speak to in February.
Of course, it’s The Lovers. It has to be. Then there’ll be a Wild Card, which will be a card picked out at random. The third card is the Guest Card. That is one that will be given to you by the previous guest or guests that I had in December. Yeah, we’ll see what we get. We’ve got The Lovers to begin with.
So first of all, let me show you the picture of a fabulous new deck. I love this deck so much.
This is from one of my favorite illustrators, Frank Duffy, who I’ve previously had the pleasure of having an interview with on Tarot DMs last year.
And Frank has created this. Well, you’ll have to see it.
It’s predominantly linocut, I believe. There’s just something… something that resonates in this deck with me. Anyway, I’ll show you the picture.
01/02/2026, 14:34 - Finbarre:
01/02/2026, 14:34 - Bridie Squires:
You mentioned in the Three of Cups is really interesting as well, because I only really recently started drawing tarot cards in the past year or two. One of the first times I drew cards with other people in about a year ago was with my two childhood friends, best friends growing up.
We’d kind of lost touch in our 20s and we’ve really joined back together in our 30s. And it’s just been a really beautiful reunion. We’ve been away together and, you know, shared secrets and dreams and ate together. It’s been really lovely going on walks together. And I was with these two friends, Kim and Misha, and the three of cups came out and it just felt so important. These, you know, three, the three of us and joining back together and, and friendship and companionship. And yeah, that’s what’s being thrown up for me when you mentioned the Three of Cups.
01/02/2026, 14:35 - Finbarre: This is Frank Duffy’s Queer Crow Death Magic indie linoprinted tarot deck and is found here - https://shop.frankduffy.co.uk/franks-slow-burn-tarot-deck-kickstarter/
01/02/2026, 14:35 - Bridie Squires: Beautiful!
01/02/2026, 14:35 - Bridie Squires: My partner and I just got engaged 😍
01/02/2026, 14:36 - Finbarre: WHAT
01/02/2026, 14:36 - Finbarre: WHAT WHAT!
01/02/2026, 14:36 - Finbarre:
Oh my goodness, congratulations!
01/02/2026, 14:36 - Bridie Squires: In November 😁
We just had our Engagement Party last week ❤️🎈
01/02/2026, 14:36 - Bridie Squires: Thanks so much!
01/02/2026, 14:37 - Finbarre:
Not only is that amazing news, but of course, you’ve got your old friendships coming together as well. It sounds like 2026 is going to be a fabulous year!
Yes, I think, unfortunately, my Three of Cups was representing the care and the support and the incredible people around me, plus possibly some really good drugs.
Anyway, as this is The Lover’s card, I’m going to think of a question based on your creative path, your creative journey, and we’ll see what comes up.
01/02/2026, 14:38 - Bridie Squires:
I love the energy of the card you showed. I feel like it’s a crow sharing this beam of energy. Just interesting that you mentioned the crows earlier and feeding the crows and spending time with the crows. They’re so wise.
I just feel like it’s really an amazing time for me and my partner. It’s an engagement, it’s just really injected great energy into our ways of being as individuals and with each other. We’re pretty much set a date or we have set a date for a wedding.
We’re maybe hoping to do it this year, but just makes a bit more sense financially and not to rush things to do it next year.
So we’re looking at around Beltane next year. So again, that feeling of spring and the energy of the sun coming and we’re sort of, it’s going to be the week after Beltane and we’re positioning everything around the new moon. So all the symbolism you could ask for!
01/02/2026, 14:39 - Bridie Squires: Great, looking forward to questions 😁
01/02/2026, 14:40 - Finbarre:
A perfect powerhouse of pagan energy.
Okay, for the lovers, I would like you to think about your poetry and tell me how you explore intimacy or connection in your poetry, bearing in mind that complete strangers will be reading it.
01/02/2026, 14:44 - Bridie Squires:
Hmm. It’s a really interesting question and something that can throw up all kinds of feelings in the process of writing from a place of intimacy. I think ultimately I’m trying to be honest or dig down into what I’m really thinking and feeling and, you know, reflecting on memories, holding them up to the light, playing around with them, putting them back together again.
I think there are ways that you kind of naturally not hide behind, but make sure that, you know, things aren’t too exposing, kind of comes with the territory of playing with whatever source material you’re working with.
I’ve written a pamphlet recently in collaboration with Gobbs Collective. We all, there were 16 of us that went on a writing retreat in the countryside and went through a process of creating our own individual 16, our own individual 24 page pamphlets.
And I was really wanting to explore the topic of violence and women’s relationship with violence. And there were some quite, I guess, exposing things in there that can be related to intimacy. But there’s also these really like tender moments. So, you know, there’s really beautiful moments of intimacy that are a bit more just narrative led and they are what they are.
They’re a snippet in a window into, you know, a moment that my partner handed me a soda and lime at the bar, like before I’d even asked for it. You know, there’s just beautiful little moments. So, yeah, I think there’s a spectrum of intimacy.
We have to be careful as well, not to overexpose ourselves in these. Everybody can read that after. So it’s a tricky line to tread and there’s always space for things that people never read as well. I’m really interested in getting out all of those things that you might not, you might be afraid to say.
That’s, I think, where some of the magic lies. And actually in sharing those things, you find that a lot of people, people really connect with you and that’s where you might find a laugh or, you know, a real sense of connection with somebody. Even if you’re on the stage and they’re in the audience.
01/02/2026, 14:49 - Finbarre:
This morning, I had my own lime-flavoured moment of connection where my mother-in-law had, completely without my knowledge, left us a small pot of lime-flavoured marmalade. They’d been stashed away in the cupboard, didn’t know anything about it. I pulled it out this morning like it was manna of the gods. It tasted so good!
Going back to what you were saying about working with the Gobs Collective, it sounds very much like a place of safety, a place where you were able to go through these very difficult feelings and experiences. It sounds like a process of catharsis or renewal. Shaped those into words. Could you tell me more about the Gobs Collective?
01/02/2026, 14:54 - Bridie Squires:
Yeah, so I founded Gobs Collective about five years ago now, just entered our sixth year with support from Lonely Smallhorne. It was really off the back of a writing residency that I had at NTU, Nottingham Trent University. It was kind of born out of a want and a need to reinstigate some fire into the Nottingham spoken word scene following the disbandment of Mouthy Poets, which was quite a few years before I started Gobs.
Mouthy Poets was a group based at Nottingham Playhouse. I was a member there for two, three years or something and got to go on lots of, got to take part in lots of opportunities for development.
I didn’t really know that spoken word or poetry was something that I could do, but was secretly doing in my room and found a big group of people that were also into poetry and none of my friends were really into that.
I was kind of flying solo and suddenly found a tribe. And when that disbanded, I had a vague ambition to start a new collective one day.
The opportunity presented itself off the back of that writing residency at NTU. And it’s just grown into something that I could never have even imagined. So we’ve run spoken word education programs over the past five years. And we do lots of sort of satellite activity around that.
Like we do our Gobs Poetry Book Club, where we discuss poems, read poems out and do writing activities based off particular collections. We do quarterly meetups that can range from our winter warm up, where we gather to share news and food.
And we also do outdoor creative writing workshops in summer for our summer saunter.
So, yeah, it’s a really beautiful community of people, which I’m so, so proud to lead.
We’re entering a really interesting next phase to kind of morph into something that’s truly collective led rather than myself making all the decisions and programming. I mean, obviously, I’m always asking the collective what they want and need. But I’m just, yeah, we’re interested in looking at what’s the next step. It’s getting quite big now. So it’ll be really interesting to get help in managing the thing.
We really wanted to inject some vibrancy into the spoken word scene and potentially even improve the quality and the education opportunities that are available to people that aren’t necessarily an academic route. We’ve done that and then some.
What I really couldn’t have imagined was the community and the friendships and, you know, that have stemmed from Gobs. It’s incredible and just a beautiful bunch of people.
01/02/2026, 14:55 - Bridie Squires: P.S. lime-flavoured marmalade sounds amazing
01/02/2026, 14:57 - Finbarre:
(Just looking at this picture gives you an idea of the tartness! Gloriously sour)
01/02/2026, 14:57 - Bridie Squires: Looks intense
01/02/2026, 15:00 - Finbarre:
As you were describing, Gobs, I was beaming at the thought of a project that is that far-reaching and has that longevity of inspiring people from, say, Wollaton or Bulwell or St. Anne’s or wherever they come from. That’s such a brilliant idea.
Okay, going to move on to card number two and this is your Wild Card.
This could be anything… I would say anything. It will be not the lovers or the mystery final card, but something in between. When you feel like the moment is right, just say stop or write it and I’ll stop shuffling these cards.
01/02/2026, 15:00 - Bridie Squires: Stop!
01/02/2026, 15:01 - Finbarre: As you typed that, one card jumped out like it wanted to be seen. One moment...
01/02/2026, 15:02 - Finbarre:
01/02/2026, 15:04 - Bridie Squires: Oh wow! I always feel a little uneasy when the swords come out 😅
01/02/2026, 15:04 - Bridie Squires: But I tell myself it’s more complex than a simple positive/negative
01/02/2026, 15:05 - Finbarre:
Ah we were doing so well. Of course, the Seven of Swords in the traditional Rider Waite is a card of stealth and strategy. It often has a figure cartoon-like tiptoeing away from a campsite, clutching an armful of swords. It’s a card of calculated moves or the use of intellect.
I’m just having a quick look in Frank’s tarot book for the definitions of these cards here, just to add in Frank’s own flavour. And they’ve put that defeat is threatened from forces working in the dark. These are just as likely to be your own self-sabotaging as they are external threats to your safety. So, rather a perilous one. Let’s think of a good question.
01/02/2026, 15:07 - Bridie Squires:
01/02/2026, 15:07 - Bridie Squires:
01/02/2026, 15:07 - Bridie Squires:
01/02/2026, 15:07 - Finbarre:
Yeah, let’s go with innovation, shall we? Right… What unorthodox or secret creative methods do you use? And have they ever backfired?
01/02/2026, 15:14 - Bridie Squires:
So this is making me think about motivation in creating an ongoing creative practice for myself.
At the back end of, I think it was around 2024 or middle of 2024, I launched the GOBS Sunrise Sessions, which was ultimately a way for me to offer a sense of accountability for myself. What it was, was a 6am till 6.30am ritual in which people could join on Zoom. So the ritual consisted of a short time meditating, just finding a sense of stillness, moving on to a free write, a 10 minute free write, just letting whatever wants to come out, come out. Then we moved on to intention setting based on the mood cycle. So these practices aren’t necessarily unorthodox in themselves. A lot of them are quite common.
I think what at the time I felt was quite clever and a way that I’d finally managed to hack getting up early in the morning, which was ultimately the intention.
I wanted to find that sense of stillness in the morning and greet the day with a kind of ritual sense of rhythm. They felt like good general practices for my well-being.
So I’ve been running the Sunrise Sessions on and off for a couple of years now. Just recently this year, I was thinking about relaunching them again but something really fell off with them at the back end of last year.
I’m really privileged to work with Sarah Wheatley, who’s another member of GOBS Collective. A lot of the time for Sunrise Sessions, it’s just been me and Sarah. Although sometimes we’ve had up to, you know, six, seven people joining us for that shared ritual.
But in working with Sarah and enjoying this practice together, Sarah became a great person that I could rely on to maybe lead the Sunrise Sessions when it wasn’t available for me. Yeah, we started collaborating on it.
I was just having a really, a downward turn at the back end of last year, entering into the winter and something just fell off for me. At the beginning of this year, I started to realize that actually that practice of relying on the accountability for that ritual, while productive, is maybe rooted in fear slightly. So at the beginning of this year, I’ve just started doing some meditation with a candle.
And just doing it as and when and offering a sense of kindness and just not too much pressure onto myself and greeting the free writing process as a bit more slow and less of a kind of timed 10 minute energy, which has definitely got its benefits. I’ve just been experimenting with that at the moment. I guess it’s not just a creative practice, but it’s also a well-being practice.
I think that was the thing that came to mind when thinking about unorthodox methods and a sense of backfiring. You know, I sort of thought I’d cracked it for a while with the Sunrise Session, but it doesn’t always work. We have these ebbs and flows in life and there’s a beautiful sense of it being ritualistic.
But could that have potentially been a bit militarized in some ways?
Maybe that’s why it wasn’t sustainable.
01/02/2026, 15:21 - Finbarre:
I benefit so much from that type of not only discipline, not only habit forming, but deciding how you’re going to shape the perspective of your day. As you say, that creative practice that you’ve described is… it makes me think that along with Gobs, you like to approach different parts of your life with, it sounds like sheer determination. It sounds like, “I know what is going to be best here. I’m going to make this happen”
And throughout what you’ve been telling me so far, that seems to be a recurring theme. If any of these sessions happen again, I would very much love to be involved as a participant. I really need to dust off my pens and paper and get back to writing some poetry, I think.
Okay, we have the third card. Now, your third card is the Guest Card that was given to you at the end of last year. And I spoke to two people from the US, Paulina Stevens and Jezmina von Thiele. And they wrote a book of the secrets of Romany fortune telling, which is currently available. They gave you a particular card to start the year off with.
01/02/2026, 15:23 - Bridie Squires: You’re so welcome to join us at any point! Everything we have coming up is always at https://gobscollective.org/events
01/02/2026, 15:24 - Finbarre:
01/02/2026, 15:24 - Bridie Squires: Thinking of experimenting with GOBS Sunset Sessions soon. Nice up the bedtime routine.
01/02/2026, 15:25 - Finbarre:
I just saw that little heart symbol you put next to the Judgment card, or in this case, the Last Judgment. Out of interest, what does that say to you?
01/02/2026, 15:29 - Bridie Squires:
It’s throwing up a few things for me.
I’m kind of just looking at the imagery of the card with the beautiful, the illustrations on these cards. I’m seeing it as a pair of hands holding the sun, really the combination of the hands and the sun, giving rise to this wonderful symbol at the top of wings and heart.
I’ve been thinking a lot about, I mean, it’s interesting we’re doing this today on full moon, Imbolc, I believe it’s the first day of the Chinese New Year, the year of the fire horse. And just thinking about, yeah, the Last Judgment.
It’s time to just stop judging self and moving forward with more kindness.
I think holding that light that sits within us, not being ashamed, knowing that, you know, I’ve been around for a significant amount of time now and I have some confidence in myself and my abilities to hold space and create.
I guess it’s just time to take a little step back.
I think I’ve been in, you know, just going at it for so long.
You know, I was talking about the kind of imagery of a duck flapping its legs under the water and you kind of just see the stillness on top but in the background, there’s just been so much work.
I’m very privileged to be at a time in my life now where I think I can not scramble around for freelance work and, you know, just making sure that obviously there needs to be money coming through as well. But yeah, I feel like I can just take a bit of a breath out this year and try and focus on rest and stillness and health and well-being and spending time in nature.
I’ve traditionally written lots of lists of goals and I still do that. I think it’s important to do that.
Over time recently, these ambitions and things to manifest have sort of just simmered down to something quite calming. You know, they’re a bit more straightforward now. It’s like… spend more time in nature, make sure I’m moving my body every day, you know, try something new with poetry.
I think it’s about not needing to have that sense of ambition, cloud everything else and prioritise friends and family and being part of the community.
01/02/2026, 15:32 - Bridie Squires: Time to sit back and enjoy!
01/02/2026, 15:33 - Bridie Squires: Which is a fight in itself in today’s society 😅
01/02/2026, 15:34 - Finbarre:
And this is why one of my favourite poems of yours is, “On Fridays, I Take The Scenic Route”
Can I be incredibly cheeky and ask you to read it out?
01/02/2026 15:34 - Bridie Squires: Yeah no problem!
01/02/2026, 15:34 - Bridie Squires: Thanks for saying that - I like that one too ❤️
01/02/2026, 15:37 - Bridie Squires:
Through the Arboretum,
nod to tired pigeons
wearing face masks,
the squirrels gripping placards.
Burnt oak leaves disperse
in a childish scatter across tramlines,
clicking their heels in the low sunlight; confetti
celebrating the end of this 2020 summer.
Until next time, you jammy bastards.
With your lack of shits
about when you’ll re-emerge green.
I receive a text:
‘I’m not sure if we’re allowed.
What’s plan B?’
When my headphone music dies,
the muffled blast of autumn
pushes its way over Forest Rec.
Peppered with the glare of six crows,
it breathes:
‘You ain’t seen nothing yet.’
01/02/2026, 15:41 - Finbarre:
There are parts of your poem that feel like yesterday, and I look at my calendar and I realize that they were over five years ago.
That takes me to your question.
For the Last Judgment, I would like to know, when you revisit your earliest work, who is it you see?
01/02/2026, 15:44 - Bridie Squires:
I see someone hungry, someone confused, someone that doubted themselves, someone that stayed up till four o’clock in the morning to get an entry into a competition.
I see someone who had a broken heart, someone that was just trying to work it all out, just trying to get by, someone that was lonely, someone that found a family and a tribe.
I see someone that inspired other people and was starting to realise it.
I see someone had some luck but also worked hard and had a good heart in creating and bringing people together and someone trying to have a good time.
01/02/2026, 15:46 - Finbarre: Closing the circle there beautifully and I have to ask, what was the competition that had you up all night?
01/02/2026, 15:47 - Bridie Squires: The Young Creative Awards! 😅
01/02/2026, 15:47 - Bridie Squires: Thank you so much!
01/02/2026, 15:48 - Finbarre:
I just did a super quick Google about the Young Creative Awards and one of the first things that came up was unexpected.
So I can see there’s a creative workshop and there’s a picture of your good self and it says “animal rap battles with Bridie Squires” Could you, can you explain what an animal rap battle is? I’m dying to know.
01/02/2026, 15:49 - Bridie Squires: 😂😂😂
01/02/2026, 15:49 - Finbarre: Whatever that chaos is, the idea sounds AMAZING
01/02/2026, 15:52 - Bridie Squires:
So that was an amazingly fun workshop, which I really want to do again, actually. But just to say that Young Creatives Nottingham, who run the Young Creative Awards, have been really supportive to me over the years.
After I won the award for the creative writing category for 19 to 24 year olds, many, many moons ago now, they were there as an organisation… they’re really interested in creating this kind of pipeline of opportunity for young people.
They offered me the opportunity to deliver workshops. I’ve delivered spoken word education programmes in collaboration with them. GOBS have collaborated with them recently. I was actually a producer for them for about six months.
When I was a producer, I produced a series of workshops for people that have engaged with the Young Creative Awards and also went out into schools. I went to Bluecoat, Aspley, and worked with a bunch of year nines there.
Got a big box of Beanie Babies in my attic, which were previously owned by my grandparents. Gave all the kids a Beanie Babies each.
Well, before this, it talked a little bit about the history of battle rap to give a bit of context and, you know, a bit of homage to the culture that battle rap emerged from. Hip hop culture. I’ve taken, I’ve taken part in a few acapella rap battles over the years, a handful of rap battles and just really enjoyed writing them.
It’s like writing rhyming jokes, basically. They’re really, really fun to write.
So I gave all these kids a Beanie Baby each and got them to create, just to write down any words that they could think of to, that were to do with their Beanie Baby.
They had a word bank to work from and then we talked about constructing a joke.
We had a mini rap battle of rap battle rounds between a rhino and a flamingo, etc, etc.
So, yeah, really good fun. I’m really keen to do that again sometime. Watch this space.
01/02/2026, 15:55 - Finbarre:
I love how blithely you mentioned, oh, a rap battle between a rhino and a flamingo.
You are going to have to rerun this. I would love to hear the outcome!
Anyway, we need to finish up with the Guest Card passed on to the next interview. For that, grab yourself your deck, shuffle the cards. Or if there’s a particular card that speaks to you, wants to make itself known, or if you’re just feeling really evil and you want to pull out the nastiest card in the deck, just to pass it on, whatever comes to you. That will be the card that’s donated from Bridie Squires to the next person that I speak to. I’m curious to find out what you pull out, and if you could take a picture of it, all the better.
01/02/2026, 15:57 - Bridie Squires:
01/02/2026, 15:57 - Bridie Squires: Ballin.
01/02/2026, 15:58 - Bridie Squires:

Bridie Squires, thank you so much for being my first guest for 2026 for Tarot DMs. It has been an eye-opener thinking about animal rap battles and hearing about your engagement and all of the wonderful things that you’ve brought to this interview, plus getting to hear your recital before as well. I hope you have a fabulous rest of your Sunday and yeah, you’ll see me at one of the Gobs Collective events very soon.
