My poetry collection THE COLOUR OF EXTINCTION will be published by Renard Press on 9 October 2024.

The Renard Press page has all the info. From there, you can also pre-order now and be sure of receiving your copy on publication. 

From the Renard Press page:

Under a sky the colour of extinction
you choose your own conclusion.
The Earth might have already done so…
and ten thousand years of civilisation
will shrink to an unrepeated moment.

The Colour of Extinction is a collection for our times: taking all of nature into its focus, these carefully crafted lines leave the reader mulling over our interaction with – and overuse of – the natural world.

Split into four strands, focusing on the climate crisis, birds, Australia and the melting polar caps, The Colour of Extinction forces us to confront the possible futures of the planet that we are destroying yet are so reliant on.


Renard is a new, independent London publisher that has won awards for sustainability, diversity and been nominated for best indie press. I am really pleased to be working with them.

The Bookseller, the UK publishing trade paper, had an announcement about the collection, which was great to see.
