A screen cap of a poem with an illustration of a bat by Jo Waite. This is laid over dark green crinkled paper. Words say: What is a bat? Jelena Potpara A bat is not a cat Nor a wombat It is just that—a bat! And where does it live?
Jelena Potpara's poem 'What is a Bat?' is the first piece in Patter.
Potpara's cute little poem was inspired by one of her nieces and exudes whimsy and playfulness off the page.
It's the perfect way to dive into this eclectic collection of poetry, prose, and non-fiction.
Very excited about this. If you'd like to grab a copy of @notypewriters.com's journal come along to our next session or get in touch, details about both over on the website: notypewriters.com

Awwww. Shucks. Glad you had a good time.
We’re not happy about this. But given big tech’s insistence of ramming AI — something we hate more than typewriters — into everything, we’ll allow it.
