Blackbird and Beethoven chosen by Carol Rumen’s for poem of the week

Thrilled and grateful that Carol Rumen’s chose ‘Blackbird and Beethoven’ as poem of the week for her column in The Guardian newspaper with a wonderful analysis.

You can read the poem and Carol’s thoughts about the poem here.

Thanks also to editor Zoe Brigley who first had faith in the poem and published it in Poetry Wales. Magazines are the lifeblood of poetry.

I would be delighted if you would like to buy a copy of my second collection, The House of the Interpreter, which nests the poem – it can be purchased from Carcanet here.
