I know I've been pretty quiet lately (unusual for me I know, but needs must) This is just to let people know that 'The Cambridge Companion to Horace' is just out today and my poetry from 'The Works' is cited. I feel so honoured to be in such company.

I'm still very much involved with Horace now that I've started my PhD. At the moment I'm looking again at my versions of Odes, Book I and hopefully, in the not too distant future, I'll be able to get them published - fingers crossed.

Off next week to do a writing retreat and hopefully do more work on my play.

If anyone reading this blog happens to have any views about what they think the role of the poet and poetry is today, I'd be very pleased to receive an email from you
