 I was interviewed by the excellent The 6press, where we covered all of my favourite topics: poetry, crisps and Shakin' Stevens. Lots of interesting things happening on the this press and well worth checking out.

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.
