The folks who put together the annual Poetry Marathon have just published an anthology of poems from this year’s marathon, The 2016 Poetry Marathon Anthology. My poem ‘The doors on the right will open’, is among those included in the Half-Marathon section.
The book is available now from CreateSpace; it will be available from Amazon within the next few days.
