Delighted to appear again on the wonderful Atrium Poetry today. My poem ‘Small Worlds’ is about being six years old, away on holiday for the first time, memories brought back by finding an old black and white photo. Many thanks to two of my favourite editors Holly Magill and Claire Walker. You can read ‘Small Worlds’ via this link:

After a spot of ‘scorchio’ weather, I almost forgot to say how chuffed I am to have 4 poems accepted for the forthcoming ‘Afterwards’ anthology. Thank you Jack Caradoc.

Thrilled to have two poems in Poets’ Directory 192 Magazine Issue 3 alongside several poets I know and whose work I really admire. Thanks to editors Colin Bancroft and Mary Ford Neal for doing another brilliant job.

Pleased as punch to appear as part of Ben Banyard’s ‘Finest’ series today with my poem “On Bedsits”.

4 years ago, Ben was the first poetry editor I submitted to at the sorely missed Clear Poetry, my favourite at the time. Thrilled to be part of the ‘Finest’ series! Top man Ben, thank you.
