High Rise: Brutalist Poetry, a slimline anthology that promises to blend the raw, unfiltered essence of Brutalism with the emotional depth and honesty of art brut. Inspired by the architectural starkness of ‘beton brut’ and the visceral expressiveness championed by notable figures such as Charles Bukowski, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton, this collection seeks to explore the profound realities of the human condition through poetry that is both honest and intricately crafted.

My poem ‘Ending The World’ appears in ‘LAST LIGHT’ anthology.

Last Light: Apocalypse Poetry is a compelling anthology edited by Alan Parry, presented by The Broken Spine. This collection offers a haunting exploration of apocalyptic themes through the eyes of diverse, contemporary poets. The works within navigate the fragility of existence, environmental collapse, and the profound sense of finality that marks the end of worlds, both imagined and real.

With contributions from poets like Angela Graham, Clive Matson, and Amaleena Damlé, each poem acts as a poignant reflection on humanity’s role in its own undoing. The collection deftly balances between the personal and the universal, capturing the myriad ways in which individuals and societies confront the spectre of annihilation. From the visceral imagery of environmental devastation to the intimate despair of personal loss, Last Light invites readers to consider the beauty and terror of endings.

Last Light is a powerful testament to the enduring relevance of apocalyptic literature in our uncertain times.

My poem, ‘CAPITULATION’ appears in ‘Reels’

‘Reels doesn’t ask for your comfort, and it won’t offer any. This anthology gathers poets who write with an edge, crafting texts that land like unflinching film cuts, capturing moments that demand to be seen. Born from a passing conversation on the cinematic art of image-shifting, Reels is for readers ready to feel every word, every line, and every collision of light and shadow.

‘Edited by Alan Parry, Reels invites you into poetry as snapshots of raw, untamed experience. Refusing to look away, these poems confront beauty and brutality with unapologetic honesty. Featuring voices like Georgia Hilton, Sue Finch, Katie Manning, and many more—Reels embodies poetry at its most uncompromising.
Published by The Broken Spine, Reels is for those who understand that art lives on the edge, that real poetry is a lens on the world’s harshest truths. Step into these pages if you’re ready to see what these poets lay bare—but leave comfort at the door. This is poetry with teeth, capturing life’s starkest reels.’
