It's a very strange process isn't it? But absolutely - things to sustain us. I have three poems coming up in The Spectator - which is a big deal. And ink sweat and tears very soon too - so slowly getting there. Onwards we both go

thank you so much - and no, exactly - or indeed hundreds of online poetry. Or 20 films made! So been busy xx
