Untitled Autumn Collection
A new collection is being assembled, to be published by Paula Brown Publishing. This collection will gather poetry from the MA years at Edge Hill College, the LADT Poems (while poet-in-residence at Liverpool Architecture and Design Trust) and the poems written since.
Running alongside this, I am editing the poems for possible inclusion in my PhD thesis.
