Looking forward to Cleeve Poetry Club (Gloucestershire Stanza) tonight. We’ll be considering four more poems from The Forward Anthology 2025, sharing our own work written since the last meeting, drafting new poems & enjoying some seasonal eats & drinks. DM me if you’d like to join us in 2025.

Super Cheltenham Poetry Society ( Gloucestershire Stanza) workshop last night, including poems from Michael Newman, Sheila Spence, David Ashbee, Nick Heap, Robin Gilbert, Roger Turner … oh, and me.

Sharon Larkin – “The cost of going off piste” The cost of going off piste The truth is I’m lost There’s no guide to this country It is a territory I haven’t been inside before There’s no road atlas satnav or compass no …

I have a new poem at the wonderful Black Nore Review.

Super Zoom launch of 'The Where We Were' by Mark and Gill Connors (Yaffle) this evening. Guest poets were Jenny Robb and Sandra Noel whose collections 'Hear the World Explode' and 'Into the Under' are published by Yaffle/Yaffle's Nest ... and open mic poets (glad to have been one!)

Thank you for the link, Carrie! I’m signing up!

Submission Possible! Carrie and Ingrid led a wonderfully constructive three hour session on-line yesterday. I brought order to my backlog of poems, prioritised, refiled and prepared them for public exposure. Time well spent. Thanks Carrie and Ingrid! @carrieetter.bsky.social

Look at the colour of the perch. Not enhanced. Nothing has been enhanced. The colour was stunning.
