A Shewing Stone - Now on Kindle

My poetry pamphlet, A Shewing Stone, is now available as a Kindle eBook. Unlike the physical edition, this is not signed or numbered, and doesn't have any onion skin involved. However, it will be the only version available on Amazon for the forseeable future. (If you want a copy of the signed, limited paperbound edition, I suggest coming along to the Illicit Ink reading on 18th Jan!)

Poetry Reading 18.01.12.

I'll be appearing at Illicit Ink's Happy Verse Day on January 18th. It's a poetry reading, so expect some seasonal verse. More info here.

A Shewing Stone Now Online

My poetry pamphlet A Shewing Stone is now up on the Mutus Liber website, although, as it's a limited edition, we haven't yet decided on how people can buy it online. But you can go and have a look at it here.

Reading at the West Port Book Festival

I'll be reading at the West Port Book Festival in Edinburgh, tomorrow night (13 October) at 2100. The venue is the Traverse Theatre Bar. See you there!

A Shewing Stone: poems

My first poetry pamphlet, A Shewing Stone, is out now from Mutus Liber, published to coincide with my winning of the 2011 Wigtown Poetry Prize. The book is currently only available from me, but I think it should be on the Mutus website soon.

Wigtown Poetry Prize

I think I can now reveal the reason for my visit to Wigtown: I have won the 2011 Wigtown Poetry Prize. This was completely unexpected (so much so that I had even forgotten which poem I had entered when they emailed me to notify me that I'd won). We had been planning to go to the Wigtown Book Festival anyway, so to have go in an official capacity - as an author (I was given an Author Pass, which got me into David Vann's reading free) made the whole experience twice as good.
