Of my collections, only the last two are in print, though CTA-21 to CTA-102, which was a tapocketa press chapbook (in the real, not the new U.S. sense), was reprinted in Adding Colours to the Chameleon.
Poems that have appeared in magazines and anthologies are linked to when they’re in on-line publications; for print publications, I’ll up-load copies here a decent interval after publication. For translations and reversionings, see the relevant sections. (I’ve included my short-prose publications, which are often disguised poems anyway….)
