you wait and wait, and then there’s more than one!
Ink, Sweat & Tears (IS&T) is a UK-based webzine run by Helen Ivory, an amazing poet with a path of wonderful work, my favourite collection being her most recent, Waiting for Bluebeard published by Bloodaxe Books. I’ve also participated in an online course hosted by Helen a few years ago through the Poetry School – Transformation and Magic I believe it was called – that encouraged students to think about the more fantastical side of poetry, letting the imagination go forth and then some.
Anyway, IS&T is a coveted place to be, so I was thrilled when I found out Helen wanted to publish some of my work on her site, which went live on Friday. This is actually one of my favourite poems (us poets all have them) so I’m really pleased it’s out there being shined on. Happy days 🙂
