I’ve been on holiday in the UK for the last month, and while away I got news of two poetry successes. I’m shortlisted for the Newcastle Poetry Prize, so I’m in the last 30 and will be published in the anthology. Also, I’m on the shortlist of 25 in the Wells Festival of Literature Poetry Competition.

Just to put a little more icing on the cake, I have a poem in the Grieve 2015 e-book anthology coming out later this month, and I’ve received  Special Mentions in the SWWV Biennial Literary Award, both Short Story and Article categories.
