Thanks for this to Eric Evans and his team at Ink Publications. As I've rather got out of the habit of submitting, I'm chuffed one of my poems found an online home here in the new edition of The Bond Street Review - and in such nice company!

In aid of UNICEF:
Hello folk in the St Andrews area. I'll be reading at this very worthwhile event on 11th June in aid of UNICEF for their appeals for Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan. Do come along if you can. It's un-ticketed and donations on the door.

Ah, memories. When everything else was locked down in March 2021, the Botanic Gardens in St Andrews was a great place for an exhibition (thanks, Jane Yolen!), and a welcome 'necessary' reason for me to travel there to set it up.

Very true for today, blue sky disguises the -1° chill.
Nothing soft lasts here.
The sea cuts clean to the bone,
