New Year’s Day couldn’t have begun better for me. I went on a lovely, long moorland walk with my husband in drizzle and fog (yes, I love this sort of weather!). While we were out I discovered to my delight that two of my poems had been published in the January issue of Snakeskin – thank you George Simmers!
Also on January 1st, I was excited to receive a message from poet John McCullough (@JohnMcCullough) who contacted me about my poetry, and tweeted my poem ‘January’ with some very nice comments. Thank you John! Congratulations to you for your collection, ‘Reckless Paper Birds’, on the Costa shortlist.
What a heart-warming start to 2020!
