New poem in Island

I’ve a new poem, ‘The record player’, in Island 168 along with poems by Willo Drummond, Jennifer Compton, Scott-Patrick Mitchell, Amy Crutchfield, Isi Unikowski, Michael Farrell, Graeme Miles, Svetlana Sterlin and Suzi Mezei. My poem’s with a nod to Marianne Moore’s ‘The Fish’, Cocteau Twins’ ‘Frou-frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires’ and The Cure’s ‘Six Different Ways’. Thanks to all at Island, especially poetry editor Kate Middleton. You can read about/order the issue here.
