Finding the best place to sub your poetry, especially a body of work, is so tricky. Online forms vary widely. You keep reading the rules, tweak every detail, then get stuck at the final checkout because of a password loop, or press send and find you forgot a vital detail. Anyone else? 🤬😩

Thank you so much @serenbooks.bsky.social This month’s Poem of the Month is ‘Unfitting’ by Rachael Clyne from her collection , 'You'll Never Be Anyone Else'

If you haven't read my collection, you can buy it and several books at Seren with a 20% discount. “… a simultaneously witty, discomfiting and uplifting read.” – Jacqueline Saphra mailchi.mp/serenbooks/s...

Do read Rosie Jackson's beautiful poem on Ink Sweat And Tears. #ukpoets inksweatandtears.co.uk/rosie-jackson/

Do check out my new Substack article, The Art of Reading and Performing Poetry. Based on my background training as a stage and TV actor, I explain and describe how those skills apply when doing poetry readings. substack.com/home/post/p-...

He was indeed a beautiful man with a big heart and a lovely poet. Too young to go.

Women of a certain age speak out, because they're no longer scared of men of the same certain age, unlike young women scared of losing their jobs. Plus they've been there too many times before, Just saying!

Oh goodness! I think we all long for decent, respectful and non-adversarial debate in the House, I'm sure many MPs would too.

One the first book I bought when developing my poetry. A unique and helpful contribution @ruthpadel.bsky.social

I confess, years ago I didn't get Anne Carson's poetry. Consequently, I didn't read her work. It seems I've come to my more matured senses and joined those who find her work inspired. arterialtrees.home.blog/2018/01/18/g...
