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!
