Here is a podcast of a chat I had recently with the students of St. Paul's Secondary School - open.spotify.com/episode/3Y2…
I tend to avoid things like that but, thanks to the warmth & kindness of the students and their teacher, Ms. Weldon, it was lovely.
A poem came from it too. :)

Of course we have to remember that Dylan Thomas himself was in more of a hurry to be off - maybe he didn't fancy the struggle?

A few years back I had poems published in an issue of Fowl Feathered Review. It was in print which blew my head off.
Virgil, the editor, then asked if he could publish a chapbook of my stuff. Which changed my life.
Anyhow, here's a poem published in the most recent issue of FFR

We continue to march because human beings continue to die.
In our minds was Tom Hurndall who died on this day in 2004, shot by the IDF while trying to save Palestinian children.
20 years later, we are still asking: when will the massacre of Palestinians end?

Today's ICJ hearing was devastating. Horror after horror, laid out in plain sight for all to see.
South Africa spoke for millions around the world desperate for this massacre to end — and put the UK & US government to shame for their deplorable silence, cowardice and complicity.
