It’s always a great feeling when an editor responds with news that a poem(s) you submitted, usually weeks, but sometimes months, earlier has been accepted.

And when it’s a favourite publication like Prole, it’s even better.

And when it’s your fourth appearance, it’s hard to put into words how brilliant it feels. It’s a welcome boost in my case as I’ve not written many poems this year and have been busy focusing on my forthcoming Yaffle Press pamphlet ‘Quotidian’ and helping to organise the inaugural 2019 Wirral Poetry Festival.

I’m so grateful to editors Brett Evans and Phil Robertson and look forward to receiving another issue filled with quality poetry and prose.
