Just a quickie today but I just have to blow my own rusty trumpet a little.
One of my poems has been long listed for the Fish Poetry prize out of 1300 entries. This is amazing, and is as good as a win for me. What a surprise!
So much has happened since I gathered all my courage to read at the Poetry Cafe in Covent Garden. Agnes and Adrienne – I owe it all to you. Thank you.

Congrats!
thank you – it is such a boost.
what lovely news – hope it’s shortlisted to the winning position!
unlikely, but I can dream!
Just found the good news (I know, I’m a bit behind the times). Brilliant – let us know when you make the shortlist.
Well. I heard today – i am now officially shortlisted!!
