My latest collection, In(di)visible, has just been published by the wonderful Edinburgh-based Blue Diode Press. You can find out about the book, read three sample poems and place an order for it here.

This book, fuelled as it is by a determination to embrace both the pain and joy of change, is a real step forward for me in subject matter and poetically. I’m confident that it contains some of my best work to date. Work that addresses the complex experience of gender transition in a time of political precariousness. Work that blends tradition and innovation. Work that tackles the struggles of faith and identity, justice, mortality and loss without losing sight of the love that underpins everything.

The cover image is taken from a print by my friend Raine Clarke, an artist whose intensely beautiful and delicate work brings to mind Simone Weil’s comment that “absolute attention is prayer.” You can find out about Raine and see some of her exquisite work here.

Come and help us to launch In(di)visible, and three Blue Diode pamphlets, on Thursday at the Waverley Bar in Edinburgh!
