Dearest bloggees,

Well, here it is, my first poetry collection, ‘and my heart crumples like a coke can.’ I’m thrilled and (I won’t lie) a little teary to be holding this book in my hands. HUGE thanks to Julia Beaven, my incredible editor who waltzed wholeheartedly with these poems from day one. Thanks also to Michael Bollen, Wakefield Press director and all round amazing person. Thanks to artist Stacey Zass for the cover design. And finally, thank you to my massively tolerant, French, chain smoking, sage-like partner, Thomas Vacca for, well, everything.  If you’re feeling in a giddy, extravagant kind of mood, you can buy the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Heart-Crumples-Like-Coke-Can/dp/174305534X/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
