so sure was i, that my poem wouldn’t be accepted by The incredible Moth Magazine, i didn’t bother even to make a note on the document i keep to remind me of my submissions. imagine my surprise when they wrote back saying they’d publish my poem, ‘IF YOU CAME TAPPING AT THE WINDOW’! It’s both an honour and a shock (!) to have this poem included in such a fine magazine.
the poem talks about the things that went through my mind the first night i went to bed after my father died.
here’s a link to the current (spring 2018) edition of The Moth where the poem (among many other stunning work) appears. i hope you’ll buy a copy at some stage & support these incredible people running this beautiful magazine.
