While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I like this poem of winter and possible recovery by the late Glyn Hughes from his 2011 collection A Year in the Bull-Box from Arc Publications which detailed time writing in an isolated stone cottage whilst living with illness.

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

A wonderful day at Lambeth Palace Library yesterday. The librarians could not have been kinder or more helpful. I still miss the old library, but the new wing — light, calm, beautifully designed — is a joy.

Good afternoon and Happy National Poetry Day! This is the very first post from Poets for the Planet here on Bluesky. We are very glad to be here. To start us off here's Wendell Berry's classic, The Peace of Wild Things #nationalpoetryday #poetrysky www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ewB...

You have to write for the love, because the publishing process and response can be upsetting, and the accolades so few (especially for poetry) yet there are collections I love that received little attention. But that creative rush is very special – no one can take it away

David Cuthbert Thomas from Pontarddulais was just 20-years old when he was shot in no man’s land in 1916. For two of the greatest war poets, his death changed everything ✍️Norena Shopland

Carol Watts – Laurel Prize: Below the Surface 🌍 On Mimic Pond: “Poetry has always been a place I go to. From childhood rhythms of prayer + countryside, through Wordsworth, Clare, Riley + Niedecker—poems began to pour out in sequences.” 🔗 Full piece: poetryschool.com/lau...

Happy b’day, “American Idiot” — released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War. “The country had gone into a war based on lies,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, “and no one seemed to care. .. It was a song that came from a very honest, pissed-off place.”
