It was such a joy to collaborate with long-term poet friends Sue Burge and Elżbieta Wójcik-Leese to create a new poem responding to a solargraph Ela created as part of her ongoing artworks. The resulting poem, ‘In her absence’ has just been published in the Winter Issue (32) of Long Poem magazine.

‘Long Poem magazine… is invaluable in that it offers a unique home to poets who write at greater length but, more importantly, in that it publishes inspiring work of such high quality. What would poets do without it?
