I have some new work in Periodicities, including this oblique visualistion of Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies. Thanks to SJ Fowler and Rob Mclennan.

Coming soon on zimZalla: INDEX by Sophie Herxheimer, a deck of prophetic poem cards. This isn't out until April, but you can pre-order now at a discount. Click here to find out more about this, plus some strictly limited rewards.

I have seven new short prose pieces in The Fortnightly Review, from an ongoing sequence called The Philosopher, concerning the trials and tribulations of a life dedicated to pure thought.

I have two new poems in the Summer 2020 issue of Poetry Review, 'Monsieur Dupont' and 'Dreamcoat'. Thanks to Emily Berry.

If you will agree to correspond with me, you shall have news,
lively fancies, humorous sallies, provided that you give me
elegant sentiments, just criticisms and ingenious observations
on Human Nature, I write to Noel Edmonds.

I am intrigued by your theories, your belief in the non-existence of death,
your philosophy of ‘business at the front, party at the back’,
and have latterly used your contraptions to rid me of silverfish
and remain optimistic for the leg what ails me, I write further to Noel Edmonds.

I wait every morning for the postman to bring a letter from Noel Edmonds
with its distinctive postmark of two flamingos, but none arrives,
only parcels for the McKenzies who live across the canyon
and buy their multivitamins in bulk online.
​
Nevertheless, it is a beautiful day,
neither summer not winter, but somewhere in between.

I have some new work in the Perverse poetry newsletter and in The Abandoned Playground. Thanks to Chrissy Williams and Daniele Pantano respectively.

I have some poems in this, a series of collaborative works written with and organised by Aaron Kent, available on Broken Sleep Books.

Two new pieces 'the temperature of the water' and 'when it gets dark, I fetch my special spoon' are online at Litter. Good to have some poetry out there again - the first in a while.

Was a great pleasure to take part in the York launch event for Nemeses, SJ Fowler's selection of collaborative works on HVTN press. Here we are exchanging gifts before reading a selection from 1000 Proverbs, 133 of which appear in the book.

Very honoured to be in this compendious guide to the Oulipo with a selection from The Tome of Commencement, my spreadsheet translation of the Book of Genesis. Enormous thanks to Phlip Terry for putting me in it. Out now on Penguin Books.
