It’s early days, but I can’t hold it in any longer!
I'm over the moon to announce I signed my next book with @ronsdalepress @wendyatkinson! Forthcoming, spring 2027, I’ll be sharing details as they come.
Because you read and come to readings and say good things. Thank you.
It's only taken 3 years to consider adding Mute Swan and her author to Goodreads. Please consider rating your experience of my poetry collection, and/or writing a short review. Thanks for your ongoing support!

From time to time I’ve been known to play with magnets. I’m sharing a selection of those ICEBOX POEMS on my IG stories this week. You’re welcome ☺️

Religion, in my opinion, tends towards exclusion.
If it really does believe it is the right religion, it must.
Which is why, as huge parts of the population becomes more fundamentalist, it becomes more hateful and discriminatory.
To the point where they genuinely believe they must only love themselves and deny the others access.
A partial poem from the archives, 2010.
Scotch Mints
And I thought (tried not to, but I did) of
You, tucked in there
and what remains of you tucked in here,
in us.…
the lingering smell of your cigar
as you sit in the darkened backyard with Bob
shooting the breeze.
I've been digging into the archives and finding lots of poems. I figured why hoard when I can share them.

Pleased to have one of my poems collected in the Ourselves in Rivers and Oceans anthology from The Wee Sparrow Poetry Press. My copy has arrived, so looking forward to reading all the other poems!
Finally. What took so long, Canada? For reasons beyond my comprehension. Devastation continues. Will Israel comply? What will it take? This is genocide.
A poem: now curated in "Ourselves in Rivers and Oceans." I'm sharing the pages with poetry friend @michelerule , who generously introduced me to Wee Sparrow Poetry Press. With gratitude to EIC Claire Thom and her lovely team.
