Pleased to be a part of ‘The Travel Edition’ collection at Stride, with thanks to Rupert.

I’m posting one of two poems on the site today. Two more of my contributions will be there from the 25th ~

You can read my second poem here: https://stridemagazine.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-travel-edition-mike-ferguson-1.html

The third and fourth poems are here: https://stridemagazine.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-travel-edition-mike-ferguson-2.html  (7.3.26)

Once on the site, you can read the first in the collection – John Mingay’s poem – and follow future Travel writings. I hope it is an engaging journey…

I have a poem up at IT today, with thanks to Rupert and Nick for posting.

This is the first of five from a sequence about poets on poetry – ideas/words found in their respective writing.

Pleased to recently receive my hard copy of the current Poetry Salzburg Review. I’m posting one of my two poems in this edition, with thanks to Dr. Wolfgang Görtschacher.
