A selection of online poems
Here are a few of my poems that have been published in online journals.
Highwire Worker, The Ekphrastic Review, 2023
I was struck by this Goya drawing when I saw it exhibited in Edinburgh, to the point where I couldn’t move away from the cabinet and knew instantly it would be a poem. I think this is the only ekphrastic poem I’ve ever written. I’m the least visual person on the planet, which is probably why.
On Second Thoughts, Anthropocene, 2024
Shingle beaches get a bad press.
You can listen to me reading ‘On Second Thoughts’ below.
Love Birds, Ink Sweat & Tears, 2025
Inappropriately over-amorous on work calls, but oddly inspirational. Loved that this one was published on Valentine’s Day.
All three poems feature in my debut collection, Umbellifire, published in September 2025 by Drunk Muse Press.
