‘wasteland-me’ in Book of Matches

I am very proud that my poem ‘wasteland-me’ has been published in this beautifully put together literary journal, Issue 6 of Book of Matches.

This was a particularly difficult poem to write, and it existed in a number of iterations before I sent it to find its home with Book of Matches.

Harley E. Ryley is a memoir writer, poet & accidental novelist. She is currently studying for her PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Sheffield and is funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council via the White Rose College of Arts & Humanities. Her thesis will develop an innovative approach to memoir which plays with language, truth and rules, writing a meta-memoir on language-constructed selfhood. Sounds fun right?

Harley also uses her ‘proper job’ skills from her previous life as a Civil Servant to provide Business Development services to creative organisations. Check out ‘writing services’ to find out more.
