@sealeychallenge.bsky.social day 12 Looking forward to a deep read of ‘The Hawthorn Bride’ (Indigo Dreams) by Victoria Gatehouse. @indigodreamspub.bsky.social #poetry #writingcommunity

Absolutely loved The Hawthorn Bride by the wonderful @vickygwriter.bsky.social! It’s a beautiful collection which weaves folklore with landscape and wildlife. It has made my little ecopoet heart sing, and I’m always a sucker for a mushroom poem! 💚

Forest Girl looks at home in these photos thanks to @vickygwriter.bsky.social in Halifax, UK. ‘Took your lovely book for a walk Julie. I love these powerful, yet tender poems rooted in physicality! Wonderful.’ Thanks Vicky! 1st print run sold out, but @dragonflyflight.bsky.social doing a 2nd! Yay!
