Your One Phone Call

I’ve been a bit slow with updating this blog with little poems I’ve had published here and there, so I thought I’d do a mini one now! A few months ago, Your One Phone Call published two of my poems on their website – ‘My Place’ and ‘Sun Burn’. You can read them through these…

Picaroon

Yaaaaaaaaaar. Ok, so I’m not particularly pirate-y, but I like to think that I might be a rogue in my own particular way.

You can read the anthology online here….

Rat’s Ass Review – ‘Love & Ensuing Madness’ Collection

My poem ‘Succubus’ has been featured in the Rat’ Ass Review ‘Love & Ensuing Madness’ collection. Woohoo! Here’s the link. It’d be amazing to see this collection as a print edition – the poetry is so eclectic and (a lot of the time) freaky. It’s an honour to be included alongside names I’m starting to recognise….

Pankhearst Fresh – Pestle and Mortar

My poem Pestle and Mortar was the Fresh Poem of the week on the Pankhearst Blog today. Here’s the link! Pestle and Mortar Making it be, herb by herb and crafting laughter sown from buds of wilted ends (either for lovers or for friends), no sparks or smokes but a burnt ring, brown and thin…

The Thing on Your Shoulder

  You Are The Thing on Your Shoulder:   Which would you be, if you couldn’t quite see the way ahead, whether you were living or in fact, dead? Do you sing like a bard or drive your purpose hard through the darkling night? Do you like the light?   © Caroline Hardaker 2015  …
