Thinking there should be a world day of 'finding a #poet on social media and sending them a message of gratitude and appreciation for a poem they have written'. I have many in mind, and have only told a few.
Love this idea - www.liminalbingo.com
I have a new sad and angry #poem with Black Iris Poetry's 'poetry of breaking news' on instagram today, in response to the UK's possible plan to confiscate jewellery and other belongings from asylum seekers to pay for 'processing costs'.

My poem 'Night Maths' is published today on the new Grasshopper Poetry site. Wishing the Grasshopper team the best springy green legs in their beginnings!

Lovely to have two new #poem s out in the world selected by students from the University of Brighton for the Destinations anthology, in conjunction with @dragonflyflight.bsky.social
Found some exciting books by the bins. Here are some of their more and less proficient illustrations. I especially love the 'wild cat' from behind, as if only ever glimpsed leaving.
Delighted that my #poem 'some people' is this issue of @mslexia.bsky.social 's Poet Laureate poem, inspired by Aloka the dog and the monks' walk through the US earlier this year. And what a beautiful cover!
