Ha!! Love the economy (and the space)

Lovely to be accepted into the Sunday Mornings At The River anthology 'For Those Who Despair' with my poem "Mythopoeia".

This will be my *third outing with the press. They produce gorgeous anthologies featuring poetry of urgency to our age.

My thanks to EIC Rebecca Rijsdijk ❤️

The Book Bag: Neon Manila by Troy Cabida Welcome back to The Book Bag. I hope you’ve had a poetic week. It’s scary how fast the weeks are going by. On Friday I attended an open mic and discussion held at Jesmond Library hosted by Len Pennie. I find my reading is becoming much better with each performance. I read Gravity Is A Force You Took For Granted and The Importance of Buoyancy.

In The Book Bag this week we take a walk in the dazzling light of Neon Manila by Troy Cabida published by Nine Arches Press. Punch poetry with light, shade and vulnerability.

Take 5, settle in and read my full thoughts pus there's news, opps, shoutouts and the playlist is another quirky blend.

Delighted my poem "THE THERAPY ROOM" has been accepted for publication in For Those Who Despair, published by sundaymorningsattheriver.com

Many wonderful writers including @lenaozge.bsky.social @vikkicwrites.bsky.social Scott Elder and Paul atten Ash

Thanks to the excellent EIC Rebecca Rijsdijk

Thanks, Linda!

It appears this is where I share my small poems, so here is one for #SmallPoemSunday, @tomsnarsky.bsky.social!

Friday is here once more, and I am enjoying playing with condensed meaning for @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social's #FragmentsFriday. Thanks for the inspiration, @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social.

A little whimsy and #PamelaAnderson appreciation for #SmallPoemSunday.

Had a little reminder today that poetry doesn't always have to be serious, so have this bit of silliness for #FragmentsFriday
