The Space Beside at Negative Assets

A poem I developed from a flash piece recently has been accepted for print publication in issue 3 of Negative Assets zine. There's a link on the right to their site, where the issue will be available for purchase on release.

I enjoyed the process of cutting the flash piece, originally almost four hundred words, into a poem of about twenty short lines. It's a great exercise for learning about poetry, about words, about brevity, economy of expression, for learning about your own writing.
