Two things: Through the Gate and Niteblade
My two forthcoming poems have now forthcome! ‘Boat-husk’ is available now in issue 4 of Through the Gate. Read it here. ‘Boat-husk’ is part of my worldbuilding-through-writing experiment: before I start to write a novel set in this forest world, I’m writing poems and short(ish) stories set in it, to get a feel for the…
