I was reminded today I'm meant to promote my poetry sequence here. It's just been published in a 2nd edition by Poetry Salzburg: www.poetrysalzburg.com/medea.htm It's about the vengeful rage of Medea whom no one listens to, and about political violence. So more relevant than when I wrote it, alas.

Very happy to announce that a poem of mine has been highly commended in the Write Out Loud competition, judged by Neil Astley of @BloodaxeBooks. Congrats to the winners and other commended poems! You can read all about it here: www.writeoutloud.net/public/bloge... #writeoutloud #poetry #bloodaxe
