Gwil W: The two main blogs are Poet in Residence and Bard on the Run. I have (had) poems and other items in and on the following publications and websites: The mis-named Genteel Messages (Purple Patch Small Press Awards - Best Individual Collection 2008) Mavericks (Purple Patch 3rd best individual collection in a small press pamphlet 2008) Research - A Journal of English Studies (India), World Poets Quarterly, Sons of Camus International Journal, The Salzburg Review, The Recusant, Current Accounts, Asahi Shimbun, Poetas del Mundo, Mainichi Daily News, various Forward Press imprints, New Hope International Review, Poets Against War (Poem of the Month), Pulsar Poetry, Iota, Poetry Monthly, Poem Hunter, Emergency Verse, Catapult to Mars (Poet of the Month), PoemsAbout.com, Red Room, jbwb prize winners, Top100 European haikuist 2010 . . . Nowadays I tend to confine my poetry to this Poet-in-Residence blog. When I have an idea I type it straight onto the blog and also do the edits on the page. Sometimes a poem doesn't work and then it gets deleted.
