Dear America
I was a teacher when the Dunblane Shooting in Scotland happened. Like many people, I remember the day clearly. I also remember the Snowdrop campaign that ran afterwards. This poem was written in response to the latest Parkland shooting in Florida I sat down and wrote a letter to America. This was heard by the editor from Bombay Literary Magazine who asked to publish it. You can read the poem here, or click on the image to hear me read it on SoundCloud. |
Please Here What I'm Not Saying
This project was sparked by poet, Isabelle Kenyon, who wanted to raise awareness of mental health while raising money for the mental health charity, MIND. The anthology is a collection of poems from around the world.
I'm extremely proud to have two poems included in the book, Barbed Wire and The Space Between Sounds.

As well as a physical health, we all have a mental health. And most of us will need support at some point in our lives.
