The following poems have been published (some multigenre, some winning awards here…)

  • a brutish numbing:- Winner: Princemere Poetry Prize 2023. My deepest gratitude to Mark Stevick & judges for this privilege.
  • SIX PIECES:- 3 visual poetry erasures (vispo) and 3 traditional poems, published in Geographies 2022 of Icefloe Press, May 2024. Gratitude in spades to Robert Frede Kenter @Frede_Kenter. The vispo pieces are from my W.I.P. entitled: ‘Little Fish, Uncanned’ which is a hybrid art-poetry manuscript created from ‘Cannery Row,‘ by John Steinbeck. Each poem is an erasure of one single page of this brilliant novel, and each poem is placed on a background of my original art, whether digital photo-art or some other art medium.
