New poetry collection: cocoon



Well it's been quite some time since I've updated my blog. The world's fighting a global pandemic, but that doesn't mean poetry stops.

Introducing my brand-new full poetry collection: cocoon

This is a book about transformations, and the worlds we create (often to protect ourselves, or to free ourselves). It includes poems about graveyards and river myths, space travel and rainy days. It experiments with different forms, including 5 full colour comic poems made in collaboration with artists working in Scotland: Edward Ross, Sara Julia Campbell, Aimee Lockwood, Mark Toner and Caroline Grebbell.



Published by the wonderful people at Tapsalteerie, you can order a copy now for £10!

And a couple of sample poems to get you started...
