It’s immensely satisfying to have poetry in a magazine as respected as The Penny Dreadful. Conscious of its allure to so many great writers, I am quite humbled indeed. My thanks to the editors.

Two of my poems, to be published in the coming months, have been longlisted for The Poetry Society‘s National Poetry Competition in the UK. I consider it humbling, and very encouraging, to have twice made the final 140 from an entry of over 13,000. England, you’ve been very kind to me recently.

Really happy to have a poem in the forthcoming issue of The Burning Bush 2.

I am truly, truly, pleased to have some work in the upcoming edition of Bare Fiction. It’s one of the most exciting publications in England at the moment, and I’m very much looking forward to having a poem in its clutch.

I really consider it a privilege to be the featured reader for the latest Stanzas gathering in Limerick. It’s is not just a platform for emerging writers, but a very defined movement of bold and exacting talents, one which I have a great deal of respect for. The reading takes place in Cafe Noir, Robert Street, this Friday, at 7pm.
