2023-2024: I've just completed a collaboration with Manchester-based poet Martin Kratz (thanks to Lydia Hounat for connecting us). Martin wrote a brilliant trilogy of poems; Heresy, The Petrol Station Flowers & The Presidents of Extinction. I then responded with a number of works of photo-poetry. We're currently looking for a publisher for this book, which has the current title of But If You Prefer The Suburbs. The poems above are part of this collaboration.
