My poem ‘Berlin’ features in issue 95 of the The Frogmore Papers, out now.
It’s the melancholy of old Europe,
darling: the grungy rot
of vegetables on a street corner,
the busker at the station
with his electric harmonium.
At Eberswelder Strasse, the green
is fundamentally green
and the train rolls onwards
out of arthouse celluloid.

I'm a writer and poet. My first novel, All the Dogs, appeared in 2008, and was described by Niall Griffiths as 'a stirring debut, a compellingly written tract on the importance of finding a place on the earth.' My fiction has appeared in London Noir, Crimewave, Black Static and 3AM. I live in London, where, amongst other things, I teach Creative Writing for the Open University. https://absenceclub.com
