I loved writing and curating this newsletter, "ten thousand beads of ancient light" - come check out: open.substack.com/pub/thewinge...

Hullo. This in the current issue of @thewingedmoon.bsky.social (Averted vision in astronomy is a way of seeing more detail in a dim sky object by not looking directly at it but rather using your peripheral vision)

Calling submissions for our writing competition... a little more than a week till submissions close. 🌷 check out the visual prompt in the link below...

It's been a while since I posted poetry - unpacking shorts from my suitcase, I remembered this one - teenage me, trapped by my blinkers, desperate to "fit in" in all ways. I suspect many brown girls have been through "Heartache in the Denim Section".

Come read beautiful poems: "Bound" by Emily Langford and "St. Basilica" by Nikhil Harle @kh-nikhil.bsky.social - spilling with rich images between earth and sky. thewingedmoon.substack.com/p/pressed-be... Also, submissions open for our writing competition!

Our Writing Competition is open @thewingedmoon.bsky.social - I'm delighted to be co-organising it with @bornonadarkmoon.bsky.social Read this week's substack "between earth and sky" for the guidelines... thewingedmoon.substack.com/p/pressed-be...

Very much enjoyed the first one, and honoured to have read as well... can't make this, but for those who can - James' poetry and the gathering - both fantastic.
