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.

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,

So this week I’ve been worrying about the guest list, nesting, cleaning, plucking, preening and outfit planning. I’ve also been wondering if any of the guys are having the same reserves and rigmaroles as me. Probably not. I doubt they’ve bought new heels. I’m having to put away any spoilt child tendencies too. For my book launch(es) will involve sharing the spotlight with the three other titles and authors that make up  the Parthian Bright Young Things series  – Tyler Keevil, Wil Gritten, and JP Smythe. This has pros and cons. Pros include getting to have more launches (Cardiff, Swansea, Bangor and London) as we pool marketing budgets, cons include the party not being  exactly  as you, singular, would want it – glitter, cupcakes, my favourite band in my case – and the impossibilities of arranging so many dates where all ...
