Hello!
I hope you are all having a lovely Easter break. My latest anthology – Parris is available either directly from me, or via Amazon. (The link is below.)
This anthology contains poetry about love, loss, and longing. The title Parris comes from Philip Parris Lynott, poet, songwriter, musician, and front man of Thin Lizzy. His writing, music and life story inspired me from being a teenager. There are references to his songs and life, blended with a good dollop of mythology!
Please feel free to contact me or leave a message below if you would like a copy.

Black and White Barb is about my mum and dedicated to my mum on what would have been her birthday today. Always in our hearts.
This is available in my latest anthology – Counting Magpies. There are a few copies of the limited edition anthology left at £10 plus postage. The limited edition has three bonus poems, is signed by my own fair hand, and will also include a handwritten poem 🙂 Please contact me if you would like a copy.
Black and White Barb
Unkindly they called you
black and white Barb,
and made you sound –
like a magpie.
One for sorrow,
(and there was) pain.
It wasn’t true –
What’s in a name?
Your deepest depths
you were so strong,
a monochrome bird
with a nightingale’s song.

Good news!
The paperback version of Counting Magpies is imminent! I will also be releasing a limited edition edition. The limited edition will contain three bonus poems and will be signed by my own fair hand. If you choose, I will also hand write one of my poems of your choice inside the book.
In the meantime here is a poem from Counting Magpies – a sneak preview!
Click on the picture of the book to take you to Amazon.
War Child
War child, far child,
not in my back yard child,
foul flies, infesting eyes,
freely grief is advertised.
Blasé news, propaganda views,
stretchered to the blues and twos.
Feuding plans, dividing clans,
charity absolving man.
Splitting heads, landmines, legs,
rubberneck, the child who begs,
behind the eyes, traumatized,
rape and murder legitimized.
Arms and gear, year on year,
dealers, spreadsheets, profiteer,
bankers, warlords, politician,
making schisms, capitalism.
War child, far child,
not in my back yard child.

Janice Foley is one of my favourite artists – to celebrate my 50th Birthday I commissioned a painting from her. I asked her to base it on my poem ‘Le Lievre de la Lune’. This is what she came up with – It’s fabulous isn’t it? (Click on the painting and it will take you to Janice’s page).
There is a story behind the painting which is told in the poem, ‘Le Lievre de la Lune’. You can find out the story in my latest anthology, ‘Counting Magpies’. Click on the book cover to take you to the Amazon page. You can purchase a copy for £1.99 on Kindle 🙂
