Poetry & Prose

On this page you will find examples of both poetry and prose together with a list of recent publications and sources. My poems have been published in a fenland anthology, Words for Wide Skies; Earthlines; in two collaborative collections: Lumb and Voices from the Brecks; in Brandon Voices published by Market Place for the Fire & Flint Festival, and in two pamphlets with Suffolk Poetry Society: Ferry Tales and Poems from the Poet Tree.

My essays on landscape and culture have been published in Est, the new book of East Anglian writing, The Migrant Waders, and Words and Women Two. I wrote Wild Notes for Essex University’s Wild Writers’ blog and contribute to Waveney & Blyth Arts website as their roving reporter.
