So sorry to hear that John Burnside has died. A phenomenal poet and short story writer who stirred our souls and generously provided a foreword to Riptide Vol. 3. #poetry #shortstory

Yo! @RiptideJournal's 15th annual short story collection is out, a story of mine lurking inside. Happily. 'Queenie & the Boy' is set in the pandemic, in Lowestoft, & I'm very fond of it. Available through your mailbox.
