I've been writing more in fits and starts lately, I think because for once all my teaching is in the writing of poetry! What pleasure! I've just finished teaching Start Writing Poetry, an online course, for Open University, and I'm in the midst of teaching the third-year module in writing poetry and the MA poetry workshop at Bath Spa University College.
Most particular to my own interests is my new course on The Prose Poem for The Poetry School in London. In ten weeks, I take students through the form's predominant tendencies, the most common types of prose poem, and the place of the prose poem in contemporary British poetry, through discussions, exercises, and workshops. I'd be glad to hear from fellow practioners of the prose poem via my e-mail address in my personal profile.
My poem, "As If To Say," appears in the new issue of Soundings, and three new poems have just been accepted for the next issue of Tenth Muse.
On 16 May, I'll be reading with John McAuliffe at The Octagon Theatre in Bolton, in The Bolton Institute's reading series. I'm also reading in August on the Crossing the Line series at The Poetry Cafe in London--more on that closer to the date.

Current Issues
I've been quiet for a while, but not inactive! My poems are in the current issues of PN Review and Faultline, and more poems have been accepted for future issues of Poetry Salzburg Review, Shearsman, and Staple.
My review of Zoe Skoulding's fine first collection, The Mirror Trade, will be in the next issue of New Welsh Review. I also have a short essay on Elizabeth Bishop's poem, "At the Fishhouses," forthcoming in an issue of Magma devoted to the sea.

Current Issues
"Awake" and "Short Break" appear in the new issue of Critical Survey, 16.3 (2004), though I'm sorry to report that the latter, a prose poem, is not right-justified as it should be. Given that the magazine mostly publishes academic essays, it can be found in many university libraries.
My review of Ruth Padel's The Soho Leopard appears in the new issue of Poetry Review.
"Axes for Crutches" appeared in the 21 January 2005 issue of The Times Literary Supplement.
In the last few weeks, I've received word of three more forthcoming appearances. "Here Comes the Sun," "Occasional Poem," and "Outpost" will be in PN Review 162. "The Cult of the Eye" and "Horace's Wet Clothes" will be reprinted in the US magazine, Faultline, while "The Honeymoon of Our Attraction" will make its first appearance in Columbia University's journal, Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art.

My review of Molly Peacock's Cornucopia: New and Selected Poems appears in the year-end double issue of The Times Literary Supplement, and my review of Kona Macphee's Tails is in the Autumn 2004 issue of Poetry Review.
