Recent Reviews from Around the Globe
I am the opposite of prolific, which means that last year I barely published anything. Anyway, here are links to reviews (from the UK, the US and Australia) of the three anthologies I contributed to in 2009.
The Mechanics' Institute Review – Issue 6 reviewed in The Independent
Asia Literary Review – Issue 12 reviewed at NewPages.Com
Not A Muse reviewed in Mascara Literary Review: Issue Six
The Poetry Society at The National Trust
For the Poetry Society's Centenary, the London South-West Stanza successfully collaborated with Osterley Park, a beautiful National Trust property in Hounslow, where we organised poetry workshops for families (encompassing young readers and their grandparents) and also a poetry competition for different age groups.
I was inspired to write a whole series of poems about sumptuous Osterley Park myself - both for adults and children.
