I have the most exciting poetry news but I'm not allowed to reveal it until the end of the week which is driving me crazy!
Thanks to Josephine Corcoran for showcasing an old-ish poem of mine a few days ago on her great poetry blog And Other Poems.

A draft poem inspired by James Owens' wonderful photographs which can be viewed on his blog ein klage-himmel.

And another short poem, though I really should be packing...

Though I should be packing for Israel, I wrote a wee poem this morning, the first in two months!

Had two poems accepted for the next issue of the Glasgow Uni journal, From Glasgow to Saturn, which I'm pleased about, I so miss the big old lecture halls and gorgeous cloisters of the Gilbert Scott Building.
