London friends, save the date for this exhibition launch of Donald Teskey 's stunning Dodder themed paintings. Also featuring *Winter Heliotrope* from Fine Press Poetry, which combines my poems with the paintings featured in the exhibition.

In 2014 I drove 230 miles to introduce myself to Michael Longley to ask him if I might publish some of his work. Birds & Flowers, launching in spring, will be my 6th publication with Michael & his daughter Sarah. This lovely documentary about Michael is now available on iPlayer.

Equinox. Today was meant to be the day to launch my latest book. A new Spring’s day to welcome Birds & Flowers a collection of Michael Longley’s poems illustrated by Sarah Longley. Instead it’s my 1st chemotherapy treatment. Hopefully a turning point for my recent ill health.

There is a death of sorts in the moments after being diagnosed with cancer. The self you were before is torn and blasted with the suddenness of a dozen mines, the heavy sword of Damocles is roped and hung, your own thin ghost steps forward from the shadows. It feels like being

It's Michael Longley's 85th birthday today. I've published 6 books of Michael's and a number of broadsides all with illustrations by Sarah Longley. I always say that working with Michael and Sarah has been the best thing I've ever done.
