Griselda, how dare you say I have too too many Wreckles. It’s either wrinkles or freckles! #GirlsOwnCC

Thank you!

‘As I was saying, Cassandra. A mixture of freckles and wrinkles is called Wreckles.’

Get waterfording folks!

Fabulous image.

My review of this convincing study.

“What surprised me about A Hosting is how moving it is: so many authors turning their troubles into beautifully-shaped art, so many working away in a vibrant and mutually-supportive literary environment” - Thanks to Julian for this thoughtful review of A Hosting

An old magic lantern slide of Waterford dated 1894. This is John's Bridge, part of which dates to the 1600's. The bridge was enlarged in 1765 under mayor John Lyon. In the center background is the roof of the old Waterford and Tramore railway station, demolished in 1970. #Waterford #Ireland

Pat Masson's best poem was also first published on Forgotten Ground Regained. "A Lay of St. Boniface" reimagines Boniface's chopping down of a sacred pagan oak from the point of view of the intended sacrifice. It is both deep and dramatic -- well worth reading. alliteration.net/poetry/a-lay...

Today is the birthday of Pat Masson (1940-1994), a writer who died young and unknown, yet wrote some of the best poetry of the modern alliterative revival. I found two of her poems in obscure journals: "Hymn to Earendil" in Mallorn and "Dragon-Fighter" in Withowinde. alliteration.net/poets/pmasson/

Cressida, that bonnet will definitely land you a job in Are You Being Served.

I asked you to bring me the head of Beryl the Peril, not the headdress. #GirlsOwnCC

Yesterday was World Poetry Day but I quite often feel like this when I try to share the work of poets I admire.

Wrong season but I just got this fabulous lady and can’t possibly hide her away until December. Photo from my collection, 1963.

The Knights of Guinevere show opens this weekend at Gallery Nucleus, here's one of my two pieces for the show! 💙🔹
