I was absolutely floored when the wonderful Mark Antony Owen recently invited me to take part in ‘iamb’. Part-quarterly journal, part directory of poets, iamb features new poetry and live readings from UK-based and international artists.
It was wonderful to be invited and I was blown away by both the beautiful site and Mark’s skill with audio.
