Thanks, Karen, I'll glady keep an eye on your posts, and hopefully catch one of your online poetry readings soon 🤞

I'd love to listen to Karen's social (in)justice poems ... I've just googled 3pm PST ... and learned, that is 12am (midnight) French time ... alas, the poetry part of my brain (any part of my brain, for that matter) won't function adequately during these 'witching hours' ... another time, I hope 🤞

HOWL opens for subs for New Irish Writing once every two years, and that window is quickly approaching! From Feb 13th - Feb 23rd you can submit your poetry, fiction, and nonfiction to HOWL 26 at howlwriting.ie

We hope we are lucky enough to receive your work!

I'm late to BlueSky ... I'm new to this ... I'm an analog man discovering a new, blue digital world.
Over the next few days/weeks I'll be reaching out here on Bluesky to connect with all my current poetry 'followers'/'following'on X.
I'm eager to see if the sky is bluer.
