'The Girl in the Air' from Pighog Press is being launched into the air on Saturday the 17th of February at 3.00 pm.

Meet outside The World Famous Pump Rooms on the beach front behind the volleyball court (down by the Hilton end) for some mulled wine and wait and see where you get led. Bring a cushion or two.

If you lose us we’ll be in the Fisherman’s Museum on Brighton seafront at 3.20 for a reading.

The Gregory Awards judges were kind enough to shortlist me this year. Sadly, due to the accident I didnt enter this year - but am well on the way to my batch of 20 poems for next time.
