Holystone Storm witches, prison hulks, kraken, and song. And pirates. Quite a lot of pirates. This is a second pamphlet of historical/fiction poems (with more than a little legend and lore thrown in) about pirates, real and imagined, and other seafaring folk. (A follow up to my 2016 pirate pamphlet, Deadly, Delicate.) Sample poems: 'A sailor remembers the prayer position' (published at Dear Reader, August 2019) 'To the storm witch's lover' (published at Dear Reader, September 2019) |

In castles where we sleep
Historical fiction poems imagining the lives of Hawise Fitzwarin (de Dinan) and Maud Fitzwarin (le Vavasour), noblewomen of the Welsh Marches in Norman England - who also happen to be my 25x and 24x great-grandmothers - and more generally, the issues medieval women often faced.

Cycles
A sequence/pamphlet of poems about fishkeeping and aquatic life, but also chronic illness, impermanence, non-attachment, kindness and compassion, saints and deities, bonding with animals, and animals being themselves and living life on their own terms.

Ivy winds along the lane
Flash fiction and short stories centred around one stretch of lonely road in the English countryside. In places like these it's hard to tell who or what you'll meet there - even in the brightest daylight.
