I'm more than delighted that my poem 'Tom Lefroy devours a Cotillion' is to be included in an anthology 'Encounters with Jane Austen' from Aurora Metro, celebrating the 250th year of her birth.
'This anthology features a vibrant mix of short stories, essays, interviews and poetry contributed by over 30 writers and artists. It presents a delightful blend of both contemporary and classic works, accompanied by humorous illustrations and timeless quotes from Jane Austen herself.
With an introductory overview of Austen’s life and work by author and academic Professor Jennie Batchelor, this volume also showcases notable contributors such as Bridgerton author Julia Quinn, actor and writer Talulah Riley, bestselling author Charlie Lovett, and two Pulitzer Prize-winning poets, Edna St Vincent Millay and Sara Teasdale.
Includes an exclusive interview with Martin Jennings about the making of the new bronze sculpture of Jane Austen which will be unveiled on October 16th at Winchester Cathedral.'
I'm a Jane Austen fan, especially 'Pride and Prejudice' and it was a joy to write this poem, as my love letter to Jane.
