A gentle reminder always to tell a poet if you enjoy their work. You'll make their day/week/month/year/decade/life!!!

The absolutely best bit of my poetry adventures is not when I receive an acceptance from a top mag (which is also ace!). It's when I get a message from a reader of my books, telling me my poems have connected with them. That's unbeatable.

Chuffed to bits to have a poem in the new issue of one of my favourite journals @Poetry_London. Thank you @NiallCPoetry for giving my work such a fantastic home.

Do you ever wish someone would make an anthology about a certain subject? @dislaney @poetrycandle has done 'Veg' as I disrespectfully call them. Fantastic selection, including @hadfield_jen , @MimDarling & a stunning piece by Ted Kooser on potatoes... One for every palate!
Di Slaney retweeted
Delighted to have my mushrooms in @dislaney's new poetry gem from @poetrycandle! I have been brooding on 'veg' gardens as I finished my prose book,'Village'. It has 2 chapters set in the echoing Victorian farmhouse where my father brought his prize. Do you have local mushrooms?
