And some good news

Great to hear that HappenStance have been nominated in the Michael Marks Awards for Poetry Pamphlets - it's recognition of the tireless and incredibly valuable work that Helena Nelson has done over the past few years, both in publishing new poets and in boosting the profile of pamphlets generally through her magazine Sphinx. I'm proud and rather humbled to have been one of her poets, and her advice and editorial input have made a huge difference to me over several years. Fingers crossed that she wins, but whatever happens, it's a huge feather in the press's cap.
