Salt in The Wound
I was recently fortunate enough to discover Vocal legends Celia and River while looking for new poetry publications on Medium. It was an article calling for submissions to include in an anthology on Justice and equality. I immediately dug up the requisite three poems and sent them off. I am pleased to announce you can purchase the “Salt in the Wound” Anthology on June 19th. You can follow River and Celia’s blog and/or Vocal page for updates on Pricing and purchase location.

Why Being On Vocal Is Brilliant
Introduction This will contain a lot of things that I have said before about being on Vocal. I have been here four years, and while at times I have got very despondent about things and felt like walking out, I then sit down and take stock and see that the benefits are actually enormous for my mental health and wellbeing.
