Matthew Stewart weaves his ways through poetry
I have another new poem in The Spectator this week, using the closing minutes of a football match as a metaphor for old age. You can read it via this link.
Chuffed to report that I have another new poem in The Spectator this week. You can read it on their website by following this link.
Delighted to report that I've had another three recent poems in The Spectator over the past few weeks. Yet again, I'm grateful to their poetry editor, Hugo Williams, for his support of my writing, and to Clare Asquith for her work in the background.
I've had two new poems in The Spectator over the last couple of weeks. It's always good to place poetry in an outlet that reaches so many general readers, but I'm especially happy on this occasion, given that these are my first publications since Whatever You Do, Just Don't came out.
I'm properly chuffed to have a new poem in The Spectator this week. ‘Heading for the Airport’ is taken from my second full collection, which is forthcoming from HappenStance Press in November 2023. It's a significant poem for me and you can read it here.
Absolutely chuffed to report that I have another new poem in The Spectator this week. This is the fifth poem they've published by me, but the excitement is still huge! Oh, and I'm also pleased to be in the same issue as my friend Rob Selby! You can read my poem on The Spectator's website by following this link.
My poem Grecian 2000 (sorry, Dad!) is in this week's issue of The Spectator. You can find it online via this link to The Spectator's website, though it should be in three five-line stanzas instead of a fifteen-line block. While you're there, I'd thoroughly recommend a read of Rebecca Farmer's excellent poem from the same issue...
Absolutely chuffed/delighted/overjoyed, etc, etc, to report that I have a new poem in this week's issue of The Spectator...
Just like that old cliché about buses, I've been waiting for years to have a poem in The Spectator and now two have come along in quick succession!
Here I am again in the 26/9 issue. And no, I still can't quite believe it...
I'm chuffed beyond belief to report that I have a poem in this week's issue of The Spectator. Thanks to Mat Riches for getting hold of a copy on my behalf and for nudging an earlier draft of this piece in the right direction...
