Counter Plymouth Book Fair

A interesting and successful day at Counter Plymouth Book Fair on 24th October 2015.

My books were displayed amongst other artist's books, zines and paper ephemera. It was great to meet, chat and make new friends with a shared interest in hand made artist books.

A lady who bought a copy of 'This Grey Wind', suggested that the rhythm in the poems made them feel like lyrics and wondered about setting them to music. An interesting idea!

Six from Ireland

A book of six poems inspired by a visit to Southern Ireland.

The beauty of the south west of Ireland was hugely inspirational and the poems came quite quickly. Creating a painting for the cover was a new part of the book making process and one that was influenced by a visit to Red Fox Press on Achill Island.
