A new poem of mine up on Ink, Sweat & Tears this morning, remembering my father and staring out of train windows at the weird state of the world…

Just found what I can only presume is my grandfather Abraham’s enamelled office name plate, at the bottom of my grandma’s sewing table. Whether it came from pre-war Germany or from London I don’t know, but what a delightful thing to have!

Ever so slightly terrified to be going to this at Rodborough Tabernacle this evening, at which various people I know, and some I don't, will be reading my poems back to me.

New from Indigo Dreams Publishing, my second collection with them - Slow Migrations.

The collection is an exploration of the West of England before it was English, seen through the lenses of Corinium Museum’s Neolithic gallery and the Roman baths at Bath.

Coming very soon from Indigo Dreams Publications, my latest book Slow Migrations, poems written in response to Corinium Museum's Neolithic collection and The Roman Baths at Bath, and to music by Chris Cundy as we explored those places together.

Keep an eye out for more information soon!

Open mic at the Crown & Sceptre, Stroud, Monday May 19th. Featured readers are Frank McMahon and Mark Corcoran. Sign up for open mic on the night from 7.30pm. Entry free.

On the train to Hereford to record a poem for an album, set to improvised music, listening to Youth’s ambient take on Ginsberg’s Iron Horse (written while travelling across America by train). A perfect confluence of mood, need and situation. All is light and blur and words rolling over sounds.

Poetry and Spoken Word open mic coming to the Crown & Sceptre in Stroud, Gloucestershire on March 24th, with featured poet Tom Sastry reading from his brand new book Life Expectancy Begins to Fall.

Sign up for open mic on the night.

I like this one by Wes Magee

Printed in my home town by the excellent Dennis Gould. Here’s my smaller version…

Obligatory ‘works do’ selfie at the Eliots with Jo Bell, Katy Evans-Bush & Mike Sims

A raven came croaking out across the valley this morning, travelling east, its wings a hazy flicker high in the bowl of fog, only its harsh, echoing voice truly visible.

Really looking forward to this, live on Zoom on Wednesday. A great line up to be part of!

Still some tickets available (free, but they need booking… click here to do so, it’d be lovely to see you there! www.tickettailor.com/events/katye...)

Wintry canalside dreaming

Here’s my poem commissioned to celebrate nigh on 50 years of the wonderful Vintage Mary stall at the Shambles in Stroud, suppliers of all those last little bits of prettiness and use in the houses of Stroud for decades.

If anyone might like a copy of my new pamphlet, Prayer Songs for Flesh and Future, here’s a handy link…
