Published poems by Veronica Ashenhurst, who has Severe ME

[Simon M]

I don't read much poetry, but I love what you write. I love how you can distill so much into so few words – and above all, how you capture the emotions and experience of living with this illness. And how you describe your own. Thanks so much.

Incredible poem Veronica. And extremely poignant. Found poetry isn't always my favourite thing but it seems so appropriate here somehow.

I was wondering if you might be willing to message me the names of some of the magazines you've submitted to that you find respond positively to poems about MECFS? I am a severe pwME and poet in the UK and many of the literary mags here have a BPS bias. It would be very helpful to me to know of some more potentially receptive places to submit.

Hello, may I suggest the following: if you type into Google, Veronica Ashenhurst, many published poems will turn up with the name of the publishing house. Easier still, if you scroll on this thread the place of publication is indicated for each of Veronica’s poem posted.
Hope this helps. As we all know know, it’s not easy getting published and it often requires sending out to multiple publishers. Don’t get discouraged, your work will get published!
Veronica may reply with more info, but perhaps this is ok for starters. Best wishes and best of luck!
