Morning all! Do you fancy some brunch poetry to tuck into this fine Sunday morning? If so, I have two morsels to whet your appetites at Empty Stars Review. Do go and check them out, or enjoy a taster below... emptystarsreview.wixsite.com/empty-stars/...

So pleased to have been picked for
@mosspuppymag.bsky.social and The Hyperbolic Review's colab 'The Hyper-Moss Theorem'. Please do go check out my poem below and also all the other talented writers who are featured in this issue thehyperbolicreview.com/issue-1-poem...

I haven't sat down to draw one of my characters in a long time, so here's 'mysterious stranger' because if I revealed who he was, he wouldn't be quite as mysterious... and also a short comic about assassins, suggesting it's dangerous to walk up and surprise one with an unexpected act of affection!

I really need to catch up with my social media. Acceptances from Sabr Tooth Tiger Magazine for their inaugural issue, also Empty Stars, then capping all this off with my first haiku coming out soon in Heterodox Haiku! It's been a busy week!

Thank you @fussub.bsky.social for the acceptance of my poem 'A Sanctuary of Spiders' - I am really glad it has found a wonderful home and I can't wait to share it with you all. Happy Sunday!

SUNDAY SNIPPETS it took three years for anyone to believe / the panting, clawing, cravings weren’t just hormonal / a second opinion suggested lupus I guess I have more to change / the extra nipples always sting I’m on my knees and it’s not sexy / I apologise to the stars as a ruler of spine snaps through skin / tight I’m changing again Zoë Davis Text is on a black background. In the bottom right corner is a yellow geometric outline of a wolf howling.

Through visceral, bodily imagery & raw emotion, @meanerharker.bsky.social captures what it means to feel monstrous & human all at once. A celebration of courage & resilience, this personal piece lays bare the emotional & physical toll of pain, disability & uncontrollable change.

Excited to be a part of this special anniversary addition. My poem is a raw, personal expression of dealing with pain, disability and change. I have included it below. Please be aware it could be triggering, although I wrote it more as a celebration of courage & resilience. Enjoy

Delighted to have an acceptance from the lovely people at
@prosetrics.bsky.social. The theme of 'whelve' really captured my imagination, and I cannot wait to share my poem 'longer days, shorter nights' with you all in their next issue x

Had an amazing night at the York Anthology Launch event reading my very special poem. So many talented people, it was an honour.
