On these portfolio pages, there are only a few items to begin with. But I hope to post something every week or so.

New postings will go at the bottom of pages.

To go to the start of a page, please use the links here or in the top menu:

Once there are more postings, so pages are longer, you’ll be able to go straight to the latest ones by using the Recent Posts carousel below.

Apart from Tales for my dog and In the Beginning…, any other items published – poems and stories in magazines – will be mentioned here as they happen.

They’ll probably be much too short to buy a whole magazine for…

But buy one anyway! – poetry and literary magazines are usually broke. Sometimes they don’t deserve to be.

Update:

● The opening passages of David Heidenstam’s long poem, “Gentle evasions”, are due to appear online in Volume 8 of the American Journal of Poetry, January 2020.

● Several of his short poems are scheduled to appear in print in the journals Blue Unicorn (USA), Orbis and The Journal (UK), and Two Thirds North (Sweden).

● And meanwhile another short poem, “I have no songs today..”, was included in the Our Poetica anthology from Cathexis Northwest Press (2019).

Please excuse the formality – there’s a lot of confusion out there.

All items, of course, remain copyright. Posting here does not put them in the public domain!

Individual small items may be quoted elsewhere on the internet if credited and linked to this site.

They may also be quoted briefly in print under the usual ‘fair use’ rules.
