Dear readers, it is my birthday today and I thought I would take a hobbit approach to that – namely by offering gifts to everyone else!
I have a new poetry collection called How to Unpeel A Monster.
The cover is based on a photo of me and a Pre-Raphaelite painting. Tom Brown drew me a version of it, and I coloured it using oil pastels. For the photo, I had a small skull duct-taped to my nipple – don’t try this at home! But it pretty well sums up the project – a bit dark, a bit twisted, a bit painful, somewhat preposterous and also quite funny in places.
If you would like a copy, leave a comment – wordpress shows me your email address when you comment, so I can easily email you a pdf. I’ll start sending them out on the 15th of June.

A very happy birthday to you. I saw/heard you speak at the SPF conference last year and have followed you since then. Your poetry book will be a welcome addition to the two books of yours I have already; thank you. Happy birthday walks 🙂
