Two of my #poems are in the Spring 2023 Issue of The Poetry Review. A total delight to have my work published alongside some truly *legendary* writers. Thanks to @PoetrySociety @hollawaynesmith

@British_Airways cancelled flight home leaving me stranded for 3 nights with no assistance. Had to fork out all the remaining money in my bank account for accomodation and you're unable to respond to my claim, leaving me in debt for the month. appalling.

"I would build, in time, a verisimilitude for us

to enjoy. First, starlight, which I had found crying
under a rock in the idea of a river. I hid her in a biscuit tin"
