Another brilliant episode of The Poems We Made Along The Way ⭐

Grateful today for the regathering-in of the morning light — & for the clean clear whistled notes of the golden-crowned sparrow (no kings but), with its accrued layers of winter memory.

Fluffy #cygnet. 🪶 #MuteSwan

Today I wrote a three-page poem. I can’t believe it! #poetlife #blueskypoets

Show this invaluable resource some love, poetry lovers. And remember, without The Poetry Archive, there would be no @iambapoet.com (now steaming towards the start of its sixth year online).

Looking forward to joining the amazing Laurie Bolger, author of Lady (Nine Arches Press) and founder of the Creative Writing Breakfast Club on 10 Nov for an online reading in collaboration with @FoundationSwift. Stay in to spend the evening with us! Rsvp www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/poetry-in-...

Next Sunday we will unveil a brand new Featured Publication, our final one for 2025. In the meantime, do check out How to Leave a Body by Holly Winter-Hughes. @vervepoetrypress.bsky.social atriumpoetry.com/2025/08/03/f...

Thrilled to be longlisted today in a competition, which means I have two poems in two print publications coming up next year and an online magazine next month too 😃 #poetry #blueskypoets

Happy One Year Book Birthday to my Debut Terrible Mother published by @blackcatpress.bsky.social #poetry #blueskypoets

Can’t wait for this #poetry

❤️

Huge shout out to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social for bringing together such an incredible group of women. I was honoured and humbled to be among them 🙏✨🙌

I can't take any credit for this. I am just glad @thebrokenspine.co.uk is able to platform @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social and her vision. It was an amazing event, so much talent! Extremely moving and affecting. I was always proud of my record publishing women, but this is something else! #NotJustPretty

Well, #NotJustPretty was an absolute blast. I'm a little teary after hearing @katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social read my fave poem from her forthcoming collection. Compound that with the event itself, the vision from @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social wonderfully hosted! Everything we could have wanted!

Congratulations to @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social for hosting and facilitating an amazing kick-off event yesterday for #NotJustPretty! Missed it? Don’t worry! There are two coming soon to a Zoom near you! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

#NotJustPretty — we don’t platform women to show them. We publish them to hear them. Poetry. Art. Defiance. Read it: thebrokenspine.co.uk...#NotJustPretty @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social @jenwithwords.bsky.social @petitecreature1.bsky.social

I can’t think of enough superlatives to describe the first #NotJustPretty Keep an eye out for parts 2 & 3! Congratulations @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social and @brokenspinejournal.bsky.social #poetry #blueskypoets

Belated UK Happy #NationalPoetryDay #poetry #bluskypoets
