A Darker Quay

Proofs approved for a new collection, SMUDGE, coming out next week, i expect.  It has been five years since Pilgrim Station, and the work’s moved on.  A very good reception from Littoral Press, and a stunning blurb from David Cooke of The High Window – I was stunned – among other high points, celebrating my sense of sound and rhythm; that great bugbear, calmed. 

The MS was read and approved In the first week of the year, and by chance I was sent this entirely appropriate picture in the same week:  instant, classic poetry cover. It’s a good month for the poet!  More to follow, you bet there is.  Dom.
