poem publication Failure baler, issue 2

The generous Kate Dowling has kindly included my poem ‘Life is a mantelpiece’ about my low level gripe, of the constant task to keep just one surface in my house just for me (yes a 4 inch by 30 inch plank of wood) in the second issue of the Failure Baler. Beautiful sunny photo of the glorious cover below, on my writing desk. The premise of the magazine is really heart-warming ‘If you know what it’s like to fail, then come and join the bale.  This zine is open to submissions of writing and artwork about your failures, whatever they may be’.   I really enjoyed this issue, as well as the inaugural one. Available to purchase here.
