Given it’s World Book Day, I suppose I should mention that I’ve got a new book coming out next month.
It’s called ‘How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside’: a collection of new poems, which also doubles up as a guide to enjoying and writing poetry.
It is not altogether serious.
It’s pre-orderable through your local friendly bookshop, plus those online ones.
Signed copies are available through the UK indie bookshops and here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/295/9781035085729

Hi
Happy book day.
Would it be OK if we read 1 or 2 of your poems at a World Poetry Day virtual event for GPs through the Royal College of GPs on the 20th of March, please?
I am also planning a similar refugee week event and would love to share your refugee poem then, if possible?
The hidden agenda is to get GPs to engage with the arts for their own well-being (high suicide rate!) and, of course, then to promote “social prescribing ” of the arts for their patients too! The brilliant book Art Cure by Daisy Fancourt has collated all the evidence, highly recommended.
Obviously, I will plug your books too.
Best wishes
Linda Miller
PS thankyou for making me smile so often with your emails, loved the one about giving up acrostics for the new year resolution !
Thanks, Linda. I’d be delighted for you to use my poems in this way. Thanks for asking – and hope all goes well.
