"Desire Lines" - new poetry collection available NOW!

Back in May I asked my Twitter followers and friends to suggest subjects for poems on the theme of modern life. 

I had an excellent response, with hundreds of fantastic ideas. From them, I chose twenty one topics. 

From ASBOs to cats to long distance love...the poems within my collection are candid and hopefully not too critical of modern times.

Modern Life

Well I've been useless at updating my blog, but I have been writing LOTS. I've got a half finished manuscript that I have tucked away for a later date and a work in progress that I am steadily working towards completing. 

After a year of solid scribbling, I have decided to take a tiny break to do something different. 

I spend a lot of time writing in coffee shops and observing life and people. There's nothing as interesting, to me, than other people and how they behave. 

I decided that I would put together some of my poetry, and write some new poems too, on the theme of "Modern Life". I've asked my Twitter followers to suggest subjects within this theme for me to write about, and have had excellent responses. It's not too late to pass your suggestions on to me though! Just comment here or send a tweet to @jerowney. Just don't suggest Twitter as a subject. I've had that!

If I choose your suggestion, I will credit you in the book - by your @ name, so if you're making a suggestion in the comments here, please add that or you will be "anonymous".

Get involved! Jx
