The Biography Bit
There should probably be some background at this point.
After winning a Poetry Society members’ contest (and reading that piece at the Poetry Café in Covent Garden) in 2018 I wrote 24 poems about Southend on Sea for the Places of Poetry online initiative, one of which was included in the official anthology published for National Poetry Day in October 2020 by Bloomsbury.
Work has been published by Flights / Quarterly ejournal, Green Ink Poetry, Fevers of the Mind, Acropolis Journal, Selcouth Station, Black Bough Poetry, Paragraph Planet, Forest Arts, Flapjack Press, Visual Verse and Dreich.
