I was delighted when I heard that my poem 'Riverdance' was to be included in the 'Places of Poetry' anthology. But it was even more exciting today to receive a couple of copies of the book in the post.
Never had I imagined that I'd have a poem in an anthology that also included contributions from poets I'd studied at school and at university, like Thomas Hardy, Anne Bronte, Robert Burns, Gerald Manley Hopkins, Lord Byron, Walter Scott, John Clare, William Wordsworth, and on a page next to Percy French. This beautiful anthology also features poems from contemporary poets from across the UK. As we head into a long winter this will be one book I'll be dipping into frequently.
