and hopefully the first of many visits here.
RIPON POETRY FESTIVAL - 21 Sept 2024
Delighted that my poem 'Stage Fright' has been included in this year's Ripon Poetry Anthology. Got a chance to read it to the 100 or so fellow writers at the anthology launch event - no pressure with a title like that ! Some super poetry recited by everyone at an enthusiastic celebratory gathering.
Also read from my new book 'Nexus' at the Open Mic on 19th Sept, with a few daft limericks thrown in too !
