Synaesthesia in haiku & upcoming publications

This month’s Poetry Pea podcast is a special on the theme of synaesthesia. I had sent in a few haiku, and  one was chosen to be read during the episode. Many thanks to Patricia!

You can listen to the podcast or read the transcript here.

I’m also excited to be able to tell you that I have upcoming publications with The Cicada’s Cry (who make a wonderfully creative haiku zine); Frogpond; and Emma Press, who are putting together an anthology on the topic of illness. The anthology is due to be released next year in the UK.

Micro poem @jalmurra

 

 

Thank you to Kate from Jalmurra for publishing my science-inspired micro poem about a mylar balloon.

If you’d like to read my poem on the Jalmurra website, just head on over there!

The Ekphrastic Review

Thank you to Lorette from The Ekphrastic Review for publishing my poem ‘The Ghost of Me’. The poem is based on this wonderful painting called ‘Sevilla en Fiestas’ by Gustavo Bacarisas (Spain) 1915.

Reclamation

Just a bit of news. I have just finished a poetry course with Manchester Metropolitan University, and during the course I wrote a poem which I have called ‘Sitting Room with Circus Lion’. I got a good review for it from another student (thank you Igor), and I’m reasonably happy with it as it stands, but to be sure I’ll leave it for a few weeks and then have another look.

Later this week, I’ll be posting my new microfiction ‘Theseus’s Ship’. So check back if you would like to read it!

And finally, I recently had a haibun accepted by haibun and tanka prose journal Haibun Today. The new issue is out now, so head over there if you would like to read the piece:

The Time I Lost My Appetite

A few days ago I received a message from the editors of Reflex Flash Fiction. My flash, entitled The Time I Lost My Appetite, just lost out on making the long-list, but they liked it so much, they still wanted to publish it on their website.

You can read it here: The Time I Lost My Appetite.

You are looking at a very happy writer!
