“All day, news helicopters cruised aloft, going whatwhatwhatwhatwhat”. Worth the read, very much so.

When you think you have a line but TSE already wrote it….

Beautifully direct …

Often when I imagine you, your wholeness cascades into many shapes. You run like a herd of luminous deer, and I am dark; I am forest. Rilke

A bouquet of congratulations to C.D. Rose, a very deserving winner of the @goldsmithsprize.bsky.social for his brilliant, funny, inventive, cynical, enthralling, disorienting novel We Live Here Now. 👇

Let's start Latino Poetry Friday with a poem by Mexican Ulalume González de Leon )Parentheses( Life lies between parentheses like the single certain factor of a sentence that never ends

Oh wow! Loving the cover too!

Obama and head of CIA had a weekly meeting to agree the hit list. Adam Schiff knows this.

Did a little reading during the week in Cahir Co. Tipperary. At a painting exhibition launch night . Lots of very nice, very cool, very serious arts people. Then at Gavin Hogg’s 40th year of painting retrospectives . Amazing, life affirming, deep journey. I’m blessed with painters.

Absolutely top class reviewing here… absolutely makes me want to get both collections. A review that makes you glow with excitement for the poems yet to be read !

The autumn wind Walking through half bare trees Stumbles

Painting is a language and this one is an alien that wants to eat your soul. Congrats Gavin Hogg

When ACTUALLY investigated a standard, nothing-to-see-here co-op creamery had how many violations? Sweet mother of Jesus… www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

These narcissists need to take a long, hard look at themselves.

@nemoloris.bsky.social as it happens this arrived today …

I feel like CMAT has really tapped into something here and it explains why FFG don’t really want to solve the housing crisis - the more recession children who emigrate, the better their chances of constant re-election
