This Fruiting Body
(2021)

My debut collection, This Fruiting Body, is available from Nine Arches Press.

"Parkin’s poems are infinitely lavish and full of wit, morphing human and more-than-human bodies in a post-human lyric disco lit with ecological thought."
- Samantha Walton, Everybody Needs Beauty

The Coin

"The poems in this collection are bold, witty, moving and nuanced. Parkin writes about the mother/son relationship in a way that is poignant, but not sentimental."

All the Cancelled Parties
(2022)

My collected work as Bristol City Poet, which in the words of former Mayor Marvin Rees:

"..captured the spirit and soul of our city during his tenure, which has encompassed a significant chapter in our history. He has navigated the depiction of the city emerging from months of Covid-19 restrictions with a mixture of hope and poignancy."

Wasted Rainbow
(2021)

Debut pamphlet (largely out of print)
 

“And perhaps you’ll talk about their obsession with VW campers: the lustre of their colours, how their roofs open up, expanding like an idea. The intricacies of the foldaway interiors of every man.”
 

from ‘My Partner is Invited on a Stag Do…’
