New Creative Writing Offer from St John's Church, Waterloo Bridge

I am very pleased to be running another set of creative writing workshops in the Crypt at St John's in Waterloo, London. They occur on the second Wednesday of every month, 6.30 - 8 p.m. in person in the Crypt and every fourth Wednesday on line via Zoom. They are free to participants - provided by the Bridge community project. Contact Abigail via Outreach at St Johns Waterloo dot org to book a place. 

We have just performed as part of the church's 200th anniversary, which was great fun, and will be working on character development in our writing from now until Christmas. 

My first lyric essay 'The Difficult We' is published by the lovely Magma poetry magazine on their website https://magmapoetry.com/archive/magma-90/articles/the-difficult-we/

I am also featured in a new anthology exploring the horrors the US election might bring: What Rough Beast has been edited by Rip Bulkeley and Merryn Williams and is a free to download pdf book from Culture Matters. One of my two poems (Trumpet) has its very own cartoon to illustrate it. 

My latest book 'Whatsname Street' was published by Smokestack Books on August 1st 2021 and can be purchased via their website https://smokestack-books.co.uk/book.php?book=206 or the books page on this site.  It features poems exploring the history of a social housing estate...
