Poems for Amethyst Review and Stride magazine

My poem 'Are/Are Not' has just been published by Amethyst Review. This is the first of two poems that Amethyst Review will be publishing, the second appearing on 13 July.

I have also been pleased to have three poems accepted by Stride magazine. All these poems concern other poets beginning with the artist-poet David Jones ('Window into the divine', 1 June), continuing with Dylan Thomas ('Dylan Thomas was more at home with Blake and Vaughan than Marx and Proust', 2 June) and ending on 27 June with Jack Clemo. The third of these poems features in a Stride series entitled 'Talking to the Dead' which began on 17 June and can be read by clicking here.

Amethyst Review is a new publication for readers and writers who are interested in creative exploration of spirituality and the sacred. Readers and writers of all religions and none are most welcome. All work published engages in some way with spirituality or the sacred in a spirit of thoughtful and respectful inquiry, rather than proselytizing.

The Editor-in-chief is Sarah Law – poet (mainly), tutor, occasional critic, sometime fiction writer. She has published five poetry collections, the latest of which is Ink’s Wish. She set up Amethyst Review feeling the lack of a UK-based platform for the sharing and readership of new literary writing that engages in some way with spirituality and the sacred.
