Today on Anthropocene new poetry by Julie Sheridan 💃🏻☀️🍣 anthropocenepoetry.org/post/2-poems-b…

There is a place where a green field, a yellow river, a black beach, and an ocean meet. This place is known as Holtsós, in southern Iceland.

My sonnet to an olm (a cave dwelling relative of the axolotl) is in this! 💚💚

Now just over a week left to submit!

Brilliant use of exclamation marks in this poem by Frank O'Hara. And who hasn't had a one-sided conversation with a leaf? According to Tom Clark, it was written in Ann Arbor in September 1950. Later, it became part of Meditations in an Emergency (Grove Press, 1957).

Read Vasiliki Albedo’s poem 'On hearing the seismologist say there could be an 8.5R earthquake near Athens' in The Forward Book of Poetry 2025. Vasiliki Albedo's poem (pub. by And Other Poems) is shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Single poem. forwardartsfoundation.org/book/the-forwa…

‘Unboxing’ my proof copy…

I can't be 100% certain about this, but I suspect the overnight surge in traffic to the iamb ~ poetry seen and heard page of the late Kathryn Bevis may have something to do with her posthumous inclusion in The Forward Prizes Book of Poetry 2025. iambapoet.com/wave/6-kathryn…
