I’m so very pleased to say that my winning poem in Kelsay Books’ Women’s Poetry Contest plus 4 others (of which 2 are new publications) AND an interview are now available to read online here. My section begins on page 13. A paperback copy of this issue is also available both on Amazon and Kelsay Books. A BIG thank you to Karen Kelsay Davies, Editor-in-Chief and Jenna Wray, Associate Editor for their loving attention to my work and for this beautiful issue–a basket of apples and oranges, a sweetness that lingers, poem after poem, on the tongue.

My poem “Shine” has just been published in Arc Poetry Magazine 86, the Summer 2018 Issue, available only as a print issue right now. Shine didn’t win Arc’s Poem of the Year award but was shortlisted for it. You can read the poem and the judge’s comments here. I am very honoured to be among the finalists and to have this poem finally go out into the world and what a beautiful journal to make its first appearance in!
I’ve been off the grid for a couple of weeks, away boating where there’s no cell reception or internet or papers or TV! I hope to post more frequently, now that I’m back and almost completely moved into our new house (on a very large island no less!).
