an open field: river 2012

Friday

river 2012 - 6

after the storm
a squeeze of sunlight
through the bare trees
I salute a magpie

Thank you, Rosemary and Jennifer. Having fun and discovering things I didn't know I wanted to say - the river is always good for that!

About me

I am the author of a novel, The Oven House, a collection of poetry, Learning How to Fall, Messages, a volume of short, collaborative prose, a psycho-geography of my hometown in South Wales, UK, Real Port Talbot (Seren Books), and The Hungry Writer, Stories, Recipes & Writing Prompts, based on my blog of the same name.

I started working with haiku forms - haiku, senryu, tanka, rengay and haibun - in 2006, acted as the haibun editor at Simply Haiku during 2008 and 2009, and was co-editor, with Jo Pacsoo, of the British Haiku Society's Haibun Anthology, The Unseen Wind (2010). In 2011 I was joint editor, with Nigel Jenkins and Ken Jones, of another country, haiku poetry from Wales (Gomer Press) and one of the adjudicators for the haibun section of the inaugural British Haiku Award.

During 2014 and 2015 I was submissions and commissioning editor, along with Bob Lucky, at CHO: Contemporary Haibun Online and my haibun collection, forgiving the rain, is available from Snapshot Press, Britain's leading independent publisher of haiku writing.
