A poem just published by @livewirepoetry.org, with many thanks to them. Dedicated to my late mother-in-law (who lived nearby), and with all due apologies to Edward Thomas. #poetry #adlestrop www.instagram.com/p/DeMT2isAogw/

Surprised, very pleasantly, to have a poem in the next issue of The Pomegranate, written in response to a Van Gogh painting and accompanied by its image. A beautifully designed magazine, btw: website at thepomegranatelondon.com where Issue 10 will be available shortly.

Honoured to have a poem in Issue 18 of 14poems - available from them at www.fourteenpoems.com/shop/issue-18 for those who support small presses. Thanks to editors Troy Cabida and Helen Bowell, and to Sean Hewiit, Richard Scott, Derek Jarman and Jeanette Winterson for inadvertent inspiration.
