In July 2023, a new poem – ‘Fleecy Disney Christmas snowflakes’, in fact begun during the Covid lockdown – was accepted, along with pieces by 11 other poets, by the enterprising Candlestick Press for their 10 Poems series of books to be published for the coming Christmas season. This chapbook – to be unpredictable – will be called Christmas Walk: Twelve Poems for Rosy Cheeks.
In June 2023, two new poems were accepted to appear in the new Broken Sleep anthology, Masculinity: An anthology of modern voices, edited by Rick Dove, Aaron Kent, and Stuart McPherson. The poems’ titles are ‘Quick ornithological quiz; and ‘Nebamun hunting’.
