Small poems for BIG Imaginations @nealzetterpoet.bsky.social
Another super poetry collection from a master poet. Great for performing or just curling up somewhere comfy and reading! Made me laugh, made me think.
A new episode every Wednesday, The Ditty Bag is a lovely little pocket of poetry joy in the week โค๏ธ A small but perfectly formed poetry podcast for those of us who are big on poetry love but short on time.
Icymi!
Announcing our top picks from Issue 4 of @frazzledlit.bsky.social
We narrowed it down to four each that particularly resonated with us, but it was excruciating to do so. We have so much love for this issue and all in it.
We hope you love them as much as we do!
