I wrote a little post for Marble Poetry’s blog about my work in bat conservation and the inspiration behind “Bats and Churches.”

New prose and future poetry

New Poem Flyers at Poetry Book Fair
The new Poem Flyers of "Persephone" and "Imperfective Future," as well as my two earlier poems "Bat Walk" and "On Seeing the North Korean Prison Camps on Google Earth," will be available for 20p each from Poem Flyer's stand at the Poetry Book Fair in London on Saturday, 30 September 2017. I'm hoping to help out on the stand at some point in the afternoon, and will be happy to sign Flyers, increasing their future value by up to 10%. Admission to the Fair is free, so please come along if you can to support poets and their publishers.
Forthcoming publication: Crannóg
My poem "Dream" will appear in issue 46 of the Irish magazine Crannóg, to be launched on 27 October. Crannóg isn't published online, but you can buy it in both print and Kindle formats via their website.

Shostakovich Study Day review
A while ago, I mentioned that there was one more piece of mine that might see print in the July issue of the DSCH Journal: a review of a Shostakovich study day presented by Gerard McBurney and Pauline Fairclough at the Southbank Centre in January. It appears from the published table of contents that this hasn't, in fact, been included in the Journal, so I've published it here. Hopefully it will still be of interest despite the time that's passed.
More Poem Flyers to come
I'm pleased to say that four more of my poems will be printed in postcard-sized format as part of the Poem Flyer project. "Persephone" and "Imperfective Future" should be published by September, with "Fissidens" and "Ganesha in the Park" appearing sometime thereafter. "Persephone" and "Ganesha" were previously published online; the other two are previously unpublished. My poems "Bat Walk" and "On Seeing the North Korean Prison Camps on Google Earth" appeared as Poem Flyers last year.
New poem at BlogNostics
My poem "Sestina for D.L.", which was inspired by the case of David Lytton, was published last week at BlogNostics.
