My poem, "Yesterday's Men," appears in issue 20 (autumn/winter 2025) of Banshee. Inspired by a little health scare earlier this year & a purely domestic accident.

Delighted to have received my contributor’s copy of @bansheepress.bsky.social’s 20th issue.

ECHOES ON THE SEA is the final piece in the anthology — a post-Lovecraftian story about failing to end the world. Many thanks to @clarakiyoko.bsky.social for her excellent edits here. I’m proud of this one.

At the top of the rock, a simple wooden gate appears to capture the setting sun. The back of Banshee’s 20th issue, showing the list of contributors

Profound dignity throughout the poems in “In Her Jaws”, lighting a way through trauma towards persistence & survival. Loving, too, learning about women I hadn’t known of before liked Caroline Herschel and Dora Richter #amreading @rosamundtaylor.bsky.social
