Weaving ways through poetry. Second full collection, ‘Whatever You Do, Just Don’t’, a Poetry Society Book of the Year 2023, available from HappenStance Press.
Joined December 2014
As parents, we're supposed to remember the first time we did stuff with our kids, but the last time is equally as significant, if not more. This poem is from Whatever You Do, Just Don't (HappenStance Press, 2023), my second full collection.

Copy by copy, every sale of a poetry collection is an act of trust, a contract between poet and reader that reaches far beyond cash. This is why I refuse to shy away from reminding you about Whatever You Do, Just Don't. Drop me a DM and I'll sort out your signed copy for you.

Learning Spanish involved getting to grips with the subjunctive. Once I saw it's a syntactic way of expressing what might happen or what might have happened, I realised the subjunctive mood is an integral part of any poem in any language, whether it's invoked explicitly or not.

Poetry is dedicated to attempting to define stuff that's instrinsically indefinable. As a consequence, poems have no choice but to be heroic failures. And therein lies their value.
