In print poem

Encounters with Jane Austen anthology

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.

In flight launch

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.
