Gone Lawn have published 2 of my inheritance prose poems 'At the edge of the mist', and 'What's a pond?' in their 'Worm Moon 2025 ' issue. Many thanks to Owen. A bit of background about Gone Lawn:
Full House Literary, with Leia at the helm, is back from hiatus, and I am pleased to have a poem inside issue 1, 2025. 'Treason' is part of a domestic/nature series of poems. (Alongside 'marital favours' recently published by The Broken Spine, see previous post below). It's a great issue, read online here.
The Broken Spine's beautiful 'High Rise: Brutalist Poetry' is now published, and available via Amazon.
I have a very small poem inside this inventive and intriguing slim line anthology. Many thanks to Alan Parry and The Broken Spine.
Coming soon! Wed 22 Jan is launch day for 'Hinterland' from The Winged Moon, available from Amazon and online.
Delighted that I have a poem in an upcoming anthology from the innovative Broken Spine Press. The call out was for: High Rise: Brutalist Poetry, a slimline anthology that promises to blend the raw, unfiltered essence of Brutalism with the emotional depth and honesty of art brut. Coming Feb 2025!
I'm really pleased have a Byron inspired poem 'This forest, a confidant' in a new online poetry collection.
Wonderful evening at the online launch of Black Bough's 'In flight' edition, which I guest edited. It was lovely to host over 30 poets who read their poems from the anthology and the open as mic as well. I shared the selection process, talked emerging themes, companion artwork, flight, and poetry in the time of global conflict.
Thanks to Matthew MC Smith for arranging and intro-ing.
The Spring '24 edition 'In flight' from Black Bough is now ready for print. It has been a pleasure picking the poems and guest editing this edition, the call out was via #toptweettuesday, and Black Bough online open mic events, mid last year.
The title of the anthology came from the cover artist Emma Connolly and the series the cover image was chosen from.
On Saturday 2 March the inaugural Cambrian Mountains Society poetry competition prize giving took place at Pontrhydfendigaid. I read my poem 'Day trip to the mountains', which was highly commended.
Delighted to have a poem 'After dinner' in the Black Bough Christmas Winter edition. Once again its a gorgeous print edition, with illustrations from Emma Bissonnet.
