My new poetry collection, Perfect Blue, is now available! You can order a signed copy direct from me, or buy an unsigned copy from the usual places (see the online shop for links.)

Supporting the new collection is a companion website featuring sample poems and audio recordings.

The companion website also provides author commentaries on each poem, intended to provide a friendly accompaniment to the book (particularly for readers who are new to poetry.)

On Sunday 14th February, a cornucopia of poets including Kona Macphee will be celebrating Valentine's Day with Rob Mackenzie's jumpin' Poetry at the... gig in Edinburgh.

Come along and hear a fine assortment of writers sharing specially-commissioned poems inspired by that great ancient love poem, the Song of Songs.

Much to my own amazement, my Poem Of The Week blog at thingwright is now 100 poems old!

To celebrate, I'm giving away a signed copy of "Tails", together with another mystery poetry book. Visit the competition page for your chance to win.
