Looking forward to having the wonderful @oenonethomas.bsky.social read at the Queens Arms in Cowden Pound on Thursday.

#TheDeeperRead issue 6: "The family tartan", by fellow @poetryschool.bsky.social grad @revkevwrites.bsky.social: suzannafitzpatrick.substack.com/p/the-deeper.... Like tartan, this poem is expertly woven of different hues in its warp and weft, and also wove itself into my week as I considered it.

Fantastic night reading at @revkevwrites.bsky.social Open No-Mic at The Queen's Head in Cowden Pound. Wonderful crowd. And will you look at the trifle bowl of wine they provided! Thanks all x Copies of 'Crippled' available from www.redsquirrelpress.com/product-page... or DM me to buy a signed copy.

Poets return to Cowden Pound on Thursday.

Snapshots through water... For just over a month this autumn I had to walk across London Bridge on the way to a residency in a church on the north bank of The Thames.   As I did so, regardless of the time of day or weather,...

In Cowden Pound this Thursday.

‘Be like the Sea of Galilee’… The talismanic advice to would-be writers—a phrase I hear myself parrot in discussions—is ‘Read, read, read’.   The to-be-expected response is ‘Read what?’ And I find myself saying...

Someone recently observed that I had not blogged for a while. So I took it as a spur to action.

It's also a shout-out for books by Fran Lock, Camille Ralphs and Paul Scully (yes, a relation!)

If you happen to find yourself in or near Cowden Pound on 26th June at about 6ish, you could pop into the Queen's Arms Pub for some poetry. Bring a poem if you want to read one, bring cheese for your ears while I read mine if you want.

Either way, it would be ace to see you there.

Thanks to @fr-sam-dennis.bsky.social and the people of St Luke's, Woodside for the opportunity to read my Stations of the Cross poems in an act of worship.

Thank you for reading and sharing today's poem - Sweetheart, You’re A Pirate Now by @suzannafitzpatrick.bsky.social
