So sorry to hear that, Jenny. That's awful news and you are being incredibly brave about it. I hope that you get the very best care from those involved. I don't know what else to say other than I hope you continue posting and keep everyone in...

Posted on Sat, 18 Apr 2026
It's a difficult one, Jenny. Risk v reward. There's risk with most procedures. It just depends whether you can live with it. Logic suggests getting to the bottom of it all as, that way, you have the chance of an effective remedy. Coughing for the...

Posted on Thu, 19 Feb 2026
I prefer first person myself but don't always write using that format. It's invariably introspective and I always think a little claustrophobic but I like the inner monologues that come with it.
'Falling Down' is a seminal movie that...

Atmospheric and pensive. Bristol's not far from me these days.
You build reflection into your poetry so naturally, Jenny. It makes it so accessible.
