I am delighted to have a new poem, To Spring, published today at Sarah James’s blog, in With You In Mind, an online anthology of poems in support of Mental Health Awareness Week 2015.
I would like to note that the poem was written around a year ago and was not composed in response to the General Election of 2015.
With sincere thanks to Sarah James for putting this excellent project together.

My most recent books are Deck Shoes (Impress Books, 2019), a book of prose memoir and criticism, and The Afterlife (Worple Press, 2019). In 2023 I will publish The Wind and the Rain, my sixth collection of poems, with Blue Diode Press.
