John Foggin's "Best of 2018" feature

Over at his Cobweb, John Foggin is currently running a "Best of 2018" feature. I'm delighted to report that not only has he chosen one of my poems, together with Kim Moore's comments on my work, but he's also paired me with Ian Parks, which is very much an honour. You can read the whole post for yourself here.

Guest poet on John Foggin's blog

I'm very grateful to John Foggin for featuring me as the guest poet today on his blog (otherwise known as The Great Fogginzo's Cobweb).

Foggin's prose style is easygoing but precise. He chats to the reader, but his words pack a punch. On this occasion, not only does he feature four poems from The Knives of Villalejo and say nice things about my poetry, but he also makes relevant and thought-provoking remarks about short poems in general. You can read his post for yourself here.

John Foggin's poetry blog

Despite announcements of its imminent demise in the face of other media, the poetry blogging scene in the U.K. continues to boast excellent health. What's more, high-quality blogs emerge on a regular basis.

One such relative newcomer is John Foggin, an excellent poet who lives in West Yorkshire. I've been following his blog since he started it last year, and have been meaning to add him to my list on the sidebar for some time. He put up an incredibly moving post yesterday. You can read it here.
