Hi everyone! There's a new book of mine on the way next week from DarkWinter Press. It's a collection of poems inspired by the incredible paintings of Edward Hopper. Here's a link to the Kindle version for anyone interested - a-fwd.com/asin=B0GS74N...

Thanks a million! :)

Thanks so much for sharing, Rod (@rodmannix.bsky.social) / (@writingcommunity.bsky.social) and James (@madridlitmag.bsky.social). You guys! :D

This is a poem about a victim of war so it feels particularly relevant right now what with all the needless ongoing conflict in the world.

It was published in an issue of one of the very best journals out there, The Madrid Review.

Thanks for reading.

This poem was published a while back in the Chiron Review.

I thought I'd also post a painting today that originally appeared in Ink In Thirds. It's based on those people, more prevalent than ever, that send dark into the world instead of light.

Thanks for reading. :)

This poem originally appeared in Door Is A Jar a few years back before finding its way into my multi-trillion selling book, A Quarter Dead and Half Alive, published last year by Renard Press.

Thanks for reading. :)

This is a fairly short poem about my father's last year or so. Dementia takes no prisoners but there were still tender moments.

The poem appeared in a recent issue of the very snazzy, Moss Piglet.

Thanks for reading. :)

This poem appeared in the 2023 Bindweed Anthology. It's a poem I had forgotten about until I went to select one for today. I barely remember writing it but it feels just as applicable today.

Thanks for reading. :)

As it's my dad's two year anniversary today I thought I might post a poem about when he was a young man. I would have loved to have known him then & miss him terribly now.

The poem was published last summer in The MacGuffin & is a poem that means a lot to me.

Thanks for reading.

This poem was published in a recent issue of Night Owl Narrative.

Thanks for reading. :)

Jane's Poetry Press - 2027. Callout for 2 (or maybe 3) poets.
I make poetry books for fun & to give poets a platform. I’m drawn to poets who have a friendly, supportive online presence and who actively encourage and uplift others in the poetry community. Being inclusive really matters to me.

This poem was originally published in Door is a Jar.

Thanks for reading. :)
