My debut poetry collection -Remembering Blue – is published.
This week sees the publication of my debut poetry collection, Remembering Blue by Ward Wood Publishing. The poems were written over a period of ten years (2008 – 2018) and, even though I am also lucky enough to have two…
I’m proud to appear alongside so many writer friends and acquaintances in Lewes’ The Needlewriters, a new anthology.
I was supposed to have been at the launch of a new poetry anthology last Thursday but, unfortunately, I was struck down with the latest lurgey and had to take to my bed instead. I am sad to have missed…

This is the neat and tidy bit of my study. I’ve been on a writing rush all week and, amazingly, stuck to my word count schedule. It would’ve been great if I had achieved this without turning the rest of…
Short poetry can be best – look at the Shot Glass Journal
I have been recently, on one of my publisher’s advice, been changing the name on my poetry from wolfiewolfgang to my “real” name of Colin Bell – the first of these was published on Every Day Poets just over a…
