The Aftershock Review | poetry The Aftershock Review is a poetry magazine devoted to looking at the aftershocks of experiences.

New work from @lydiaunsworth.bsky.social in The Aftershock Review:

“After almost dying, there was only one option in front of me: to survive. But not just that, I had to thrive. This is a celebration of that. It is my manifesto for living. We strive.
And we will thrive.” MW

Did a poem about the current flag situation/nonsense in the UK: www.culturematters.org.uk/flags-is-it/

BBC One - Leonard and Hungry Paul, Series 1, Episode 1 Leonard begins to open up his world with the help of his best friend, Hungry Paul.

Well doesn't this look grand.

In the Radio Times and everything.

My mum would have been well chuffed and to some degree making up for the disappointment of not becoming the second English Pope.
