Four of my poems have just been published in the Spring 2026 edition of The Awakenings Review, a bi-annual American literary journal based in Chicago. The award-winning print journal is entirely devoted to publishing works by artists, writers and poets with lived experience of mental illness. You can order it online and read a free sample here! (My poems are not part of the sample.) Thanks to editor-in-chef Robert Lundin for sparking my World Bipolar Day!

Poetic Awakening in The Awakenings Review!
I am bouncing off satellites to learn that four of my poems will be published in The Awakenings Review, an award-winning American literary journal published by The Awakenings Project in Chicago! Thank you Editor-in-Chief Robert Lundin for sparking my day! 💛
The Awakenings Review is one of the USA’s leading literary journals dedicated to publishing works by artists, writers, and poets with lived experiences of mental illness. Established in 2000 with the support of the University of Chicago, their biannual publication features contributors who have a personal connection to mental illness and offer insight and resilience without being demoralising.
The next publication, which I’ll be in, drops Spring 2026!
