POETRY LIKE SUNSHINE IS FREE

Streets have no name.
Hello friends. I had some great news yesterday. My collection QUICKSILVER has been accepted for publication by Lapwing, an independent press in Belfast. I completed the collection two years ago, then shelved it due to faltering confidence and various domestic crises which I won’t go on about here.
I’m hugely delighted by this news, and want to thank Peter Pegnall for reading Quicksilver and supportively putting me in touch with Dennis Greig at Lapwing. Dennis is a courageous publisher who is struggling with cancer. He has been magnificent in his immediate acceptance of the book, as well as the speed with which he has *already* begun work on its publication.
I’ll keep you posted on progress, and post a cover image when that emerges. I love Lapwing’s logo — such a cheery, purposeful, spirited bird.
FOXY WAS ERE
