Incredible, rich, moving conversation between poetry legends @dseuss.bsky.social and Sandeep Parmar. Hard recommend.

This was AMAZING news, I am still taking it in tbh!!! 🤯

Delighted to share our latest #blog post. Here's a poem and great discussion on form and intention from @tomsastry.bsky.social as we introduce 'Navigating the Peri-Apocalypse with Radical Self-Care' from his 'startling, sardonic' upcoming #poetry book: ninearchespress.blogspot.com/2025/01/in-c...

What a magical week @jessmookherjee.bsky.social and I had at Arvon last week! I'll miss this spooky view from Totleigh! And all the people who made the week so special.

I wrote this after visiting Auschwitz a few years ago. My husband's remaining Polish family live just down the road from there.
