Very big thank you to friend, poet & inspiration, Nikki Dudley, for her wonderful cover blurb for my new prose/poetry pamphlet, 'sum of her PARTS', which will be out in June with the superb @vpresspoetry 💜.#fiction #microfiction #poetry #amwriting #writingcommunity.
“Laura Besley's sum of her PARTS is satisfying and jarring. [. ] It's easy to see parts of you in these pages; it's both beautiful and unnerving.”.Nikki Dudley on sum of her PARTS by Laura Besley @laurabesley.
