Hurrah for the return of snail mail.
Two very welcome deliveries this morning (and no bills!).
The first was the new copy of Mslexia which always cheers me, although I have to eek out my reading of it carefully over the next three months.
Second was a bundle of copies of a writing anthology called Landscape from a Dream - which has a piece by me in it! Ta-dah!- publication at last. The anthology was produced by the Newcastle Lit and Phil Library for National Poetry Day on the 4th October, and the organiser Sheree Mack asked me for a piece way back at the beginning of summer. It's so lovely to see my words in black and white in an anthology of, in my 'umble opinion, 'damn fine writing'. The booklets were distributed in Newcastle on National Poetry Day - let me know if you got hold of a copy and what you think. Meanwhile I will be distributing my copies among family and friends, and of course keeping one for myself.
Mslexia is subtitled 'for women who write' and when I began subscribing a couple of years ago I considered myself 'a woman who wants to write'. I've still got a long way to go and a lot of writing to do but over the past year I have moved on, so that I am now 'a woman who writes', it is part of my life and I love it.

Just to say I have had the privilege of reading Sarah's extract from the 'Landscape from a Dream' publication, and , as always, it was bloody good! Read her work. She is fantastic! Just amazingly sensuous, that's our Sarah!
