My stuff has been longlisted three times for the erbacce-poetry prize - in 2022 I was fortunate enough to have the poems I’d entered into that year’s competition included in their journal.

Now they’re here for you to read.

In the nineteen seventies, a couple of misfit kids in a northern English town get themselves into the sort of trouble that the adults around them think they can resolve. It doesn’t work out well, for either of them. Twenty years later, a young soldier falls in love, quite unexpectedly, with a young woman. The consequences of this romance will haunt all four of them.

No fanfare - just my first blog post.
