Slowly and steadily I'm consolidating all my many social media and integrating onto my main site:
Still light on content and working out the kinks but do head over if you fancy keeping up with my goings-on. I'm trying to make it more inclusive, instead of just about my poetry/publishing life. So it might not suit your fancy anymore. But don't worry - I'm not easily offended!
All that to say, for the foreseeable future, aikowrites at blogspot will no longer be updated.
So come along to lionandsloth.com!

Brief update of things that catch my fancy
Hello hello!
T-minus 2 months to wedding (less than this actually!), and so I have pretty much gone nuts with all the stuff still to do. Looking forward to the big day, but also looking forward to the delicious quiet that shall replace all this manic craziness.

Sidekick Flicks - Reading of Kappa
The amazing folk at Sidekick Books/Fuselit/Dr Fulminaire fame recently asked me to read my poem Kappa, originally published in their Obakarama anthology about Japanese mythological monsters.
They put it together with a wee video shot by Jon Stone, and it's now up on their youtube page, here!:

Oh wait, check this out! Embedded!:
Definitely keep your eyes peeled for more videos and cool stuff coming out of the Sidekick Books HQ.

Best British Poetry 2011: Hitodama
AMAZING news and also an invitation to a launch.
I was so surprised and flattered and honored to find out earlier this year that a poem of mine would be included in The Best British Poetry 2011, the first anthology in a new series being produced by Salt Publishing and edited by Roddy Lumsden.
The poem, 'Hitodama', was first published in the Japan issue of Edinburgh Review, for which I am very grateful to the then-editor Brian McCabe and to Jennie Renton.

Two poems in Birdbook I
Very exciting news! Got my contributor copy of Birdbook I: Towns, Parks and Gardens in the post and it is AMAZING.
I'm very impressed! It's got a lovely embossed cover and colored endpages and is brimming with pairs of poems and art pieces on specific birds (of town, parks and gardens).

Roll on 2011!
Things moseying along round here as usual. Flat hunting (to buy!) and wedding planning (venue sorted!). Still laying low as I get more life-admin sorted.

Firstly, I'd forgotten to mention I was featured in the Scottish Poetry Library newsletter, talking about what it's like to be a volunteer at the SPL and how I got involved. It's a great, friendly place to volunteer.

First post in 2011! For shame!
Hello! Apologies for huge blog-negligence. Everything has been quite manic and whirlwind the past couple months:
1. I got engaged! Handsome S proposed at the start of January so my head's been in the clouds since then.
2. I've been hibernating (ie. flat-hunting, car-hunting, visiting wedding venues & fairs, and dress shopping. WHEW!).
3. As you'll know, Japan had a massive earthquake & tsunami a couple weeks ago, which destroyed many cities in northern Japan.
