New substack about motherhood, fitting in writing and upcoming National Poetry Writing Month open.substack.com/pub/kimmoore...

Happy new poem day to me! Thanks to @poetrylondon.bsky.social for publishing this one ❤️ feeling this today as I am missing so many "ordinary bedtimes" at the moment

Really enjoying this latest Tove Ditlevsen from @penguinbooksuk.bsky.social foreword by Olga Ravn has already made me cry this morning "I don't understand how it's possible to be a mother and a partner and a worker at the same time in this society without breaking down"

This beautiful poem by Katharine Towers in the latest @poetrylondon.bsky.social is just stunning.

William Stafford

This will be an amazing and thought provoking event!

Couldn't resist getting Isabel Galleymore's latest collection as well...I just did a slightly embarrassing out loud snort on a crowded train at the idea of a slug as a "hunkling of fudge" 🤣

Read at York Literature Festival last night with the brilliant Mary Jean Chan, Isabel Galleymore and Lillian Akumparira. I love this mirror poem from Mary Jean...

I've been thinking about first poems in collections again - featuring a poem by the brilliant Maria Ferguson, from her new book "Swell" over on Substack.. open.substack.com/pub/kimmoore...

OK, and these two by @shevchenkoknight.bsky.social Basket magazine is my new favourite basketmagazine.co.uk/issues/issue...

This poem by Clare Pollard!! basketmagazine.co.uk/issues/issue...

Latest substack post with a sneak peak of the beginning of a short story I've been working on this month...but I've also been thinking about ideas, and where they come from, particularly the ones that take three years to amount to anything! open.substack.com/pub/kimmoore...

Thankyou Jane, an absolute honour to have someone re-imagine my poem in this way ❤️

The new @dseuss.bsky.social is just wonderful. Published by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

This poem 💔

Pencil sketch of a ring ouzel bird, 1829 by Emily Brontë (age 11), later writer of the classic novel 'Wuthering Heights'. The bird is still found on the wild Northern English moors near her home #womensart
