Sabotage Reviews

I'm glad to have had the chance to review Marion McCready's pamphlet Vintage Sea, for Sabotage.

The Snowboy Virtual Tour: Interview 6

My next interview is up at Miso Sensitive. My thanks to Andrew Spragg.

Horizon Review

Issue 6 of Horizon Review, Salt's flagship literary magazine, is online now. As usual, it's a massive collection of things to feast your eyes on: poems, stories, art, essays, reviews. I'm thrilled to be in there for the first time with three pieces of writing: 'Emoliage', 'The Blake Sheep Replies' (poems), and a review of Tim Atkins' staggeringly good poetry collection Folklore. My poem 'Emoliage' is also in my pamphlet The Snowboy, so consider it a taster.

The Snowboy Virtual Tour: Interview 5

Right, we're getting through these at a rate of knots it seems, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. My latest interview was at Tony Williams' blog. We talked about poems by Hopkins and Arnold, poetry vs. fiction, lines and linebreaks, discursive poetry, and the Apocalypse. Enjoy.
