POEM 316: "The birds of the Haworth dead " by LJ Ireton (@literaryvegan.bsky.social) "Every minute they cry, so that you look up, up - the sky of the sleepers is screaming alive; raucous with cemetery rooks discordant, glorious blurring" stonecirclereview.com/the-birds/ #Poem #Poetry

When I was 14, I would escape into romance novels. They reignited my love of reading and of life. They would take me away from being a shy autistic teen. Because no matter how dark things would get in them, the happy ending was promised. Mine will be out on the 2nd of April.

👑 Nine poems. Three Queens. 👑 My poetry micro chapbook 'Unclaimed' is now available to download from: whittlemicropress.com/publications... @whittlemicropress.bsky.social

A fascinating read so far - comparing the patriarchal idea of women revealing 'too much' in art with how fans connect with it and what art is itself. Thank you @penguinhuddleuk.bsky.social and @vintagebooks.bsky.social 💜 Fans of all three women are going to love this and it's gorgeous !
