My fourth collection, 'Woof! Woof! Woof!' available now from @saltpublishing . Expect humour in darkness, darkness in humour, barking & woofing, barbed satire, a sonnet crown filled with random Prefab Sprout references, and plenty of word noodling

ALT Book cover of Woof! Woof Woof! 70s-style placemats with dogs on them collaged together. A bit like an old Ladybird book, although the contents are perhaps not so much like a Ladybird book, which will disappoint some.

While I strachil through the last o the January duties, I find my brain has, all by itself in the woods, been singing the praises of the swede.

'I can experience something I call the “trembling of speech.” I learn of meanings that can be hiding in those texts and about which I didn’t have the faintest idea. I realise the poem does not belong to me... it is a living space belonging to the person reading it at the moment'

My musical highlight of 2023 was the long overdue discovery of The Saints. What a joy it's been!

Thank fuck for music, right? (Pt 2)
Julian totally blew my mind this morning with a song I'd never heard before. I honestly don't know how I missed it because it couldn't be more my thing 😳 But I'm here now and it was Big Big Love at first listen.

Review of my fourth poetry collection 'Woof! Woof! Woof!' in The Bottle Imp by Matthew Macdonald. Interesting and pretty good review. There are mistakes in the quote from 'Year of the Rat' but you can have fun working out what it's meant to be😀. thebottleimp.org.uk/2023/11/…

What an honour to be mentioned alongside @robamackenzie1, @maithreyikarnoor, @betarish, @emilycotterill, @poetryhilary and brilliant others by @zoebrigley! It was a very lovely reading last night: the weather outside was cold(ish), the poetry was warm.

“Sartre thought that life could be caught in a trap of words, and I’ve always felt that words weren’t life itself but a reproduction of life, of something dead, so to speak.”

This is great. The Smiths wander about with a bunch of children, not really answering their questions, and suddenly Sandie Shaw arrives and sings Jeane to them in a park!
