The Lay of Dunstan

An illustration of Saint Dunstan

Listen! this is the lay of holy Dunstan:

Once while working by the forge’s fire did Dunstan, Bishop of dear memory, hear cloven hooves a-clatter. Thus the devil came on, faring far for the ruin of Men upon middle-earth.

I am currently putting the finishing touches on an illustrated poem about St. Dunstan, the Anglo-Saxon Archbishop of Canterbury from 959 to 988.

I am in the process of finalising the logistics to start selling print and digital copies of the poem, so keep an eye on this page for the official announcement for when The Day of Dunstan goes live.

I’ll have links to the various storefronts where I’ll be selling copies. But please be aware that the first place it will be going live is on the Emona Literary Services™ Patreon page as a bonus to paid subscribers.
