\"\"I’m very happy that my new full collection A Bluebottle in Late October<\/em> is now out with V.Press<\/a> Because of the lockdown, I can’t have a face-to-face launch but here are 5 videos of me reading sample poems. Take a look.
\nVideo Day 1. I’m reading ‘A Minor Crisis’<\/a>, the first poem in the collection.
\nvideo Day 2. I’m reading ‘Fruit’.<\/a> “the faintest of moons.”
\nvideo Day 3. I’m reading ‘Female Nude’<\/a>. This introduces the narrator’s mother.
\nvideo Day 4. I’m reading ‘Easterly’<\/a> with chilly atmosphere.
\nvideo Day 5. I’m reading ‘In Essaouira’<\/a>. A drastic change in the weather.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much to my publisher, Sarah Leavesley for believing in my book, and to Tim Liardet and Neil Rollinson for their generous affirmations<\/a> on the book’s cover and for their years of support. Thank you also to everyone else who read and commented on the book.<\/p>\n
