Poetry News

Starting your Christmas shopping?

Well look no further, I've got you covered with a super poetry book, featuring a lot of famous people (dead and alive), and me.

I am super proud to be in this and rather astonished that Carol Ann Duffy found my poem.

I am thrilled to be one of 108 poets from around the world to be included in the Rhino Poetry Anthology which will be published in South Africa later this year. It is shocking that hundreds of rhino are killed for their horns every year to supply the Chinese medicine trade. I am glad to be in such good company to raise funds to prevent these attacks on one of the world's most endangered animals.

Please buy a copy of the anthology when it appeasrs. More information on this project from the noble Harry Owen here: http://rhinoanthology.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/appeal-for-sponsors-do-you-know-someone-who-can-help/

Tokens for the Foundlings - New Poetry Anthology

Along with the great and the good (Carol Ann Duffy, Gillian Clarke, Don Patterson, Seamus Heaney, David Harsent, Dannie Abse,  Elaine Feinstein and co) is little old me.

I am delighted to have been asked to contribute to this anthology of poems for the benefit of the Foundling Hospital Museum in London. Edited by Tony Curtis, the book is just about to be published (27 March) by Seren. Cover art by Tracy Emin - fab!
