“Come back to me” – Safety in Numbers

One of my poems appears in this chunky anthology which you can buy directly from the publisher and some bookshops. Indeed, note my excitement at finding a copy in Poetry Pharmacy’s newly opened shop in York recently!

Here’s the blurb from the website about the project:
‘Safety in Numbers’ is an anthology of poetic conversation with poems that respond to each other in a chain repeating and answering each other’s voices.

A project that is tied to Gill Connors’ PhD on the links between 16th and 21st Century women, this book is the result of over 200 women’s responses to each other’s poetry

We got sent a poem, had a week to respond, at which point our poem then went onto the next person in the chain.

Pretty cool!


At the time of writing there are some readings taking place around the country, but we also had a massive Zoom session where as many of the contributors as possible joined together to read the poems out in order.
