So pleased to have a little poem in the latest issue of @aswirl.bsky.social! 🌀

spring is here! issue thirteen on sale now 🌀🌱

Issue thirteen was due to publish in one week but a printing error was discovered during our quality control checks. It will need to be reprinted and remade, which will push back the publication date by a week or two. Thanks for your patience 🌱🌀

I’ve been having a lot of fun with these minimalist concrete poems for children! Like every poet, I love playing with words. This series has been inspired by Ian Hamilton Finlay’s 1970 poem ‘Catameringue’. More to come!

Spring is coming 👀🌱🌀

I do miss working at a bigger office where it was possible to print my zine for eighteen months on an industrial printer without anyone noticing 🖨️🖨️🖨️

(for E)

we will walk a little way
behind the others

giving words to what
violence did to us

wondering if the un-
ending has an ending

we will trust that love
can be trusted again.

(where E could be everyone, or anyone, and is always someone)
