A new story in The Manchester Review, accompanied by this beautiful artwork. I seem to mention rhubarb a lot (see here, here and here), but as Freud nearly said, sometimes a stick of rhubarb is just a stick of rhubarb. Custard, however, is another matter entirely.

I've had two new pieces published online recently: Cockatiels at Disclaimer Mag and Rabbit at The Wild Hunt. Both of these pieces result from an approach to writing I'm using more and more, utilising found material as I have done before, but less schematically, intereweaving it with written material to create something that is both and neither. I don't know where I'll go with it next, but it feels like a way forward. Maybe I'll write about something other than animals.

Out now, in book form. More here.

Count the Ways - a commissioned piece for the European Poetry Review, about loving, plus Guru, a short prose piece about charismatic leadership and vegetable samosas at Spelk.
