Delighted to have two poems, Dedication and Kimono for a woman, in this month’s issue of The Lake – especially Kimono for a woman, which was inspired by last year’s wonderful exhibition at the V&A Dundee (and is the first time I’ve written an ekphrastic poem about a garment)

20 October 2024 – an essay in Imagined Spaces
A bit of a departure for me – I was invited to write about my poetic process for the Imagined Spaces website, curated by Gail Low and Kirsty Gunn. The result was Making a poem: Fishing in a disused quarry, in which I try to talk about what I do without making myself too self-conscious to actually do it… process? What process?
