I have a weird little poem in this. Thanks to Robin Boothroyd for including me!

A thrill to see Wild Honey books in the world again...

Ahhh, to experience the calm, peaceful splendor of [checks notes] 1970's Belfast.

I *love* Norwegian Easter. Off til Tuesday and there's loads of crime drama on TV because Påskekrim (the tradition of reading/watching/listening to crime drama) is a thing!

There is an egg shortage in Norway. I went to FOUR supermarkets this evening in Oslo before finding some six-packs of which I bought three in a fit of panic!

😅

I spent the past few days in Belfast, seeing and doing much. Here's a little reflection on some of that!

This day four years ago, I was put into ICU with Covid–19. One of the best things to come out of it was this book I wrote in the aftermath of that whole experience.

An anthology I am very proud to be numbered in

Yiu should all follow Veer Books and buy some of their many astonishing books. I was lucky about 10 years ago to feature in their Viersomes series, with a long poem of mine that was a major breakthrough for my writing at the time. Still available too!

This is a really good read on many aspects of the writing life
