Four prose poems from ‘Subsidence’ published in Live Encounters Jan 2025

6 Jan


I have been working on the concept of a novel for a number of years and, while I haven’t progressed very far with the writing of the novel itself, the process has resulted in a number of poems. Among these are a number of prose poems which have just appeared in Live Encounters January 2025. These four pieces are fragments, which one day may fit together … or not.

Once again many thanks to Live Encounters editor Mark Ulyseas for reaching out and requesting these pieces.

It was a great feeling to wake up on New Year’s Day to find four poems from my upcoming collection, The Office of Literary Endeavours, published on the the Lothlorien Poetry Journal blog. Many thanks for editor Strider Marcus Jones for publishing ‘cutting the grass’, ‘the other city’, ‘consolidation’ and ‘Northern Stone’.
