Wonderful launch of Christina Thatcher's Breaking a Mare and my own Bathing on the Roof at Waterstones Cardiff on Thursday. Such warmth! It felt dream-like to introduce my book to you.

I'm in the Western Mail Weekend magazine today talking about Bathing on the Roof! Many thanks to Jenny White for giving me the opportunity to talk about the evolution of the book. Out now from @parthianbooks.bsky.social

I'm very much looking forward to reading with the Parthian crew outside the Poetry Bookshop in Hay-on-Wye over the Hay Festival Winter Weekend. It's Saturday November 30th. Come and see us!

Thanks to Llanover Hall, Cardiff, for inviting me to read some poetry at the closing ceremony of their open art exhibition last month. It was a lot of fun. Beautiful harp music from Stacey Blythe, also pictured.

It's not too cold here on the South Wales coast yet but it's coming, they say. Here's a painting of mine from a few years ago. Margam Park in the frost.
