Work-in-Progress
I'm always writing something new, and here is where you can learn more about it.

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) |

Hart & Halfpenny
A young man in a 21st century English town gives a hedgewitch a tiny antique coin as payment: a halfpenny minted during the reign of King James VI & I. These poems explore the life and beliefs of King James, with fictional poems telling a modern tale woven between them, reflecting the themes of magic, religion, fear, superstition, ambition, love, and queer identity back at us for our own time.
