9 years ago, no prize money, but my poem on a bus in Guernsey. My cousin lives in Guernsey and read my poem for me at the Poems on the Move prize ceremony. My grandad was once a bus conductor who read poetry to his kids. If I peaked with this so be it. 🥰

Our final submission window for 2024 closes in 3 days! Our first annual Winter Solstice edition combines retrospective with brand new poetry - all the guidelines are on our website!

So I am thinking this is the little poem I want to give you today. Hope you like it. #poetry.

"Thin" from 'Consolamentum' (@blackboughpoetry.bsky.social) by @jamesmcconachie1.bsky.social. A collection which I had the joy of previewing & providing a testimony for. Beautiful elegiac poems exploring a breathtaking historical landscape against the tenor of humanity 🔥 #books #poetrycommunity

A place for every Storm ⚡️ The Horse who Died in Thomas Street is a poem by Séamus ua Trodd featured in The Storms issue 4. Minutes after leaving Thomas street last Sunday, I found quite a few horses, all still alive & kicking, inhaling the Guinness air eatthestorms.com/the-storm-sh...

I once landed in workshop w/ Sophie Cabot Black, who’d quote Stanley Kunitz, saying the line must read as a cohesive thought, standing on its own. I guess that is always in my mind at editing stage. Not saying we need to follow rules or advice every time tho. Thanks! I like craft discussions :)

I have a poem up on the wonderful Ink Sweat and Tears today. Massive thanks to editor Helen Ivory for selecting it. inksweatandtears.co.uk/julia-webb-3/

Here in Aotearoa it's Trans Day Of Remembrance. Every year, we light the candle Cate was gifted in Thailand, pour love & memory into the flicker & smoke, let it reach the dead. And we cry. This year, in the current shadow, more than ever. Friends, how we love you. Stay with us, any way you can.

I should probably share my #poetry collection on here, even if it was written under a name now on life support. The majority of these were written on the doorstep of starting a medical transition bookshop.org/p/books/poem...
