Jonathan Pinnock
Jonathan Pinnock was born in Bedfordshire and – despite having so far visited over forty other countries – has failed to relocate any further away than the equally dull next-door county of Hertfordshire. He is married with two children, several cats and a 1961 Ami Continental jukebox. His fiction has won several prizes, shortlistings and longlistings, and has been widely published. However, he still finds poetry a little baffling, even though he has had work published in Ink, Sweat and Tears, Every Day Poets and Twisted Tongue. His unimaginatively-titled yet moderately interesting website may be found at www.jonathanpinnock.com.

Haiku-Man to the rescue! And things along those lines. From South African odysseys to waltzes in wheelchairs via allegorical toasters, Dancing with Delsie and other poems contains all the splendidly multifarious winning entries from Leaf Books’ second
poetry competition of 2008.
her legs are like tree trunks
motionless and solid
‘let’s dance’ she said
with arms in the air
swaying like palm trees
when the wind blows
across a purple sea
Extract from runner-up ‘Dancing with Delsie’ by Sally James.
