PS - is any of the work available online, or on this site? I know, I know, I need to search your profile properly but it's off to work for me. Point me in the right direction if there is one as I'd like to read some:-)

First time - apart from being in poetry mags. I don't have anything posted here... or anywhere actually.

Are you going to give us a sneak peek of a poem or two? Could push an order or two your way...:-)

A sneek peek of a poem...mmm, which one...?

What about this one - it was published in The Ugly Tree

Hypochondria

If you heard his mother
beating seven years of schooling out of him
in the upstairs flat beside the cutting,
you would never doubt
why Price thought
every sniff pneumonia,
every spot cancer,
every headache a haemorrhage.
If you cut back at lunchtime
and heard Price sing
in tuneless agony
as he received his nourishment
or if on your way from school
you prayed your parents
would be out when you got home.
Then you’d understand.

Thank you, Nashelle – I've worked with a few of Price's blood-brothers in my time.
