A few things.

hallo there.
Just a short post - there's a well-written and interesting review of Pocket Horizon in the latest journal of The Lancet.
The reviewer, Jonathan Barnes, has some generous and interesting things to say about the whole endeavour, and I was pleased he described my poem about fungus, Downy Mildew,  "unexpectedly moving".

I think the finest reviews are those which tell you something new in the process of reviewing, and at their best are complete works of art themselves.

I'm also pleased to be reading at the launch of Niall Campbell's beautiful new collection Moontide on May 23rd, in Bloomsbury.

The other readers are Zaffar Kunial and Rory Waterman, and it's hosted by Declan Ryan, Faber New Poet and Days of Roses maestro.  Should be a wonderful night.
