I’m thrilled to announce that my forthcoming pamphlet, Something so wild and new in this feeling, can now be pre-ordered from V. Press, ahead of its publication and launch in March 2021. This is my collection of collage poetry created from multiple extracts of Dorothy Wordsworth’s wonderful journals, which forms part of my PhD research into the poetics of meteorology.
