Good news on the poetry front.

Heard today that I just missed the shortlist for the Cinnamon Press first collection competition. Very pleased to have got so far in the process and will have work published in the Cinnamon Press anthology Feeding The Cat which comes out in September 2011. One poem is The East Yorkshire Crematorium which won the Envoi Prize last year and the other will be Trisagion which is a triptych based on a backpacking month in Greece two years ago. The poems are largely about the island of Naxos where I stayed in Naxos City for a week.
