I have now launched an ebook (kindle) version of my latest collection 'when she is winter'.
Competitively priced and Available on Amazon now.
Very Best.
I am beginning to prepare a collected book of poems comprising the poems from the 5 published books 'The Lost Box of Eyes', 'ident', 'tomorrow is the tugboat of today', 'sound about hot', and 'when she is winter'.
I am going to initially publish this as a hardback, with plans to publish as a paperback book, and even perhaps an ebook later.
Best Regards,
Alan
Here is the cover of when she is winter designed by the very talented Emily Ford.
You can see more info on the book, including a preview here When She Is Winter
Announcing the launch of a new paperback collection, my first since 2020's sound about hot.
I am very happy with the poems in this collection, and very happy with the cover design and illustrations by excellent Cumbrian artist and illustrator Emily Ford.
These poems were made in the time that both of my parents died, and some of the poems address this.
There are also poems occassioned by birth.
This is my first venture into using kindle publisher. I hope that the collection is interesting.

A city I love being in, with great people, great art, great buildings, and wonderful parks.

Just a note to say that poet Matt Barnard has contacted me to let me know that the Onslaught Press Anthology Poems for the NHS is being converted into an ebook. It has been made free / as cheap as possible, and readers are encouraged to donate to NHS Charities Together via a link on the site.

Is the black an atmosphere, or mud-flats, or fluid?
White body? The white
appears intact inside of the sound
of itself,
a heart is beating loosed
within pale overarchings,
—a bud yearning to spring open
whatever lock restrains
so that what was a chamber of stillness
breaks to be released,
reaches.
Is it weightless?
Aware of its own weightlessness?
I am anxious of the unknown, for it,
its diaphragm rises and falls and rises in
‘practise breaths’
the Midwife says, as she measures and listens
—and we all listen
to blood’s flow through arteries and veins.
This is the cord in section,
a section through the cord.
Why then does this machine not show it
reaching out and running like a cable should
and plugging in shocking us deep beneath our skin.
This is the landscape of the nose, the open
mouth. I remember
hearing memory begins
when words are used for things.
