I have my very first poem in the wonderful Verity La! The piece, titled ‘ringtail, in memoriam’, explores decay and endings, beginnings and small acts of resistance.
… you are ground-sunk
hairs fanning back & sleeping
into leaf litter, the curves
of your bones exposed
sunlit & glowing.

I am very proud to announce I am one of the three judges for the 2019 Anne Elder Award panel, along with Gig Ryan and Marcella Polain! Gig and Marcella are former recipients of this significant award, and I was commended in last year’s prize.
