What strange and awful times. After a weekend of emails cancelling almost everything I was booked to do over the next two months, I went for a long spring walk in which I decided to act! We may be confined, and alarmed – but we need to stay in touch, and I need to do some work.

So – welcome to The Poetry Wire.
The Poetry Wire is a private website for participants on my new online courses – the first of which starts on 6 April and is called THE LIFE OF THINGS. This first course is now completely sold out, but there will be subsequent courses, so watch this space and do drop me a line if you’re interested.

I want to limit numbers on The Poetry Wire courses so that there’s still that sense of community I’ve enjoyed working with so much. All info is below – do feel free to contact me to ask questions too. And wishing all of you luck, and good health, and good poetry to see us all through.

The Poetry Wire is private to course participants so that any shared work remains eligible for publication.
