I have an idea. Something that could be fun! But also technically, quite challenging! Currently, researching.

Sometimes some poems just blow me away

I’m very pleased to have a poem in the new issue of Impossible Archetype today. ‘Pencil Sketch of Myself as a Ruin’ is another of my widowhood poems. This one explores the sense of being left both broken and isolated, while life seems to go on as normal for others.

I’ve realised that poetry can’t be taught-if you’re an aspiring good poet you can learn the mechanics but that instinct with certain perfect lines-that’s inborn artistry. Truly great poets reproduce it time after time-I just fumble. Frustrating and humbling to read great poetry.

Congratulations to everyone on this list! Saw Corinna Board and Frances Boyle this will be a fabulous list!

“That the thickest skin the loudest trumpet call that tusks and tasks and a period of madness and life goes on and offspring and wrinkles and folds” Today’s poem is ‘What I learnt from the elephant’ by Nora Nadjarian Nora Nadjarian Read it here: dustpoetry.co.uk/post/what-i-le…

This is such a beautiful issue. Magical and dark. There’s something special and spell-like. And the illustrations…such a beautiful combination. Congratulations Róisín Ní Neachtain🇺🇦🇵🇸 & Anne Daly

Went back to work today and I’ve come home super sensitive about everything. Good poems are making me tingle and my own poems in progress are making me angry. Also waiting for stuff…not a comfortable state of mind.

Gothicist on wheels, about to start my doctorate at Manchester Writing School - be honest, #PhD folks, how hard is it to access doctoral opportunities in a wheelchair? What has been great? What has been bad? Don't wanna freak myself out but I want to go in prepared. #phdjourney #phdchat

Is it a crime to call myself a coconut? Thinking back to my poem, Coconut Butterfly, from my Fawn Press pamphlet For the Daughters…😳
