A handful of my poems made it into Querencia Press‘s first women’s, queer, trans and nonbinary (enby) anthology, Not Ghosts, But Spirits – a fat volume with work by over 90 writers and artists. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, you can pre-order the book here: https://bookshop.org/shop/querenciapress (or ask your local bookseller if they can get a hold of it for you). The book will be out mid-January, as far as I know. All proceeds from this anthology will be donated to the charity Saving our Sisters.

If you want to read some new, previously unpublished poems of mine, get a hold of the latest issue of Poetry South for a poem that is dear to my heart, “Small Animal Soft Tissue”. I’ve also got work forthcoming in Westbranch, Gutter Magazine, and – some self-translations, in German – in the Jan / Feb issue of Sinn & Form.

Tomorrow is the 21st of December, the shortest day of the year. As The Doctor says, “half-way out of the dark.” Here’s to a return of the light, and to a bright 2023.
