New Poems: 'Yolk/White' and 'In Case'

While I've been away on my ITEF Fellowship in Istanbul there's been a little flurry of my writing appearing in the world. 

This means that you can now read two of my new poems for free online.

about it...

You can read my new story 'Looks Like Rain' in the Spring issue of The Lonely Crowd (Issue 4) which is out now. Buy it from the website or pop along to the launch at Little Man in Cardiff on the 20th of May where I'll be reading with a number of the other excellent contributors. If you'd like a sneak preview, you can read a little bit about my writing process and the story in my short essay on The Lonely Crowd website.
I'm also pleased to have been offered a short UK residency this summer to concentrate on my writing about more rural locations and place in my fiction and poetry. More on that, and on my time in Istanbul soon.
Stay well lovelies,

In this version of The Passion, poet and author  Owen S
