I am deeply grateful to Hilary Menos and Andy Brodie at The Friday Poem for taking a new poem of mine, Lone Wolf.
You can read it here.

I am a lecturer, poet and writing tutor. I work in teacher and medical education at the University of Exeter. My anthology Lifesaving Poems was published by Bloodaxe Books in 2015. In 2012 I published Riddance (Worple Press), a collection of poems, and Love for Now (Impress Books), a memoir, about my experience of cancer. The Wind and the Rain, my sixth collection of poems, was published in 2023 by Blue Diode Press. Plymbridge, a new pamphlet, is available now from Worple Press. My current research project, funded by the Foyle Foundation, is Young Poets' Stories: https://youngpoetsstories.com/. This blog is archived by the British Library.

A stunning poem on so many levels.
Thanks for sharing.
Love your handwritten notes about zoos from my past. As a child it was a treat to ride Rosie the elephant at Bristol Zoo, Alfred the Gorilla, my fave. If only we knew then… The big cats always looked so sad and I can still smell those terrible cages.
Best wishes and a wave from Oz.
Great poem.
