Had an email from a Dawntreader subscribers this week, saying how delighted she was to be in the magazine & thanking me - it was her first published piece at 90 years of age. It's never too late to start! This is why I do it.🥰

Oops! It did. Should have spotted that. Sorry Jenni 😞.

My pleasure, Jennifer. Delighted to have you in there 😀

Two perfectly-formed mags are finding their way to subscribers this morning. Brimming with poetry: packed with good writing. Take yourself away from it all & get one. share.google/e1tS0ARLtyxn...

Steve has been very busy today arguing with grass.

Poster for poetry reading and open mic at the Lab in Bishop's Castle, Shropshire. Picture gives details of accessible venue: The Lab; date: 30th July; time: 7.30pm. Also a photo of a woman in brown jacket and blue top with silver necklace, with background of moorland landscape.

A bit over-awed to be guest-poetting at Verbatim in Bishop’s Castle, Shropshire on Weds 30th July, in The Lab, just up the road from the Poetry Pharmacy. It's spacious & accessible, so if you’re local, come along with a poem to read. Start is 7.30pm; sign up for an open mic slot on the door #poetry

Steve skipped work today to practice his interpretive dance. Steve is trying his best.

Huge congratulations Kerry. So good to hear!

So many things to make you press pause and enjoy the gift of a day's walk.

Beautiful Corfu Town on a VERY hot day...and what we found there, hiding from the heat.

There are nights when what is before your eyes is more beautiful than all your imaginings; better than thoughts that have kept you sound across a year.

The Indigo Office is now closed for our summer break... a longer break this year as 75 epic years have to be celebrated by my poet tomorrow, before I whisk him away to the Ionian Sea. Thank you for holding on emails & letters whilst we're walking with ancients.

Thanks Paul. We still have a few copies of the issue left. Happy to say they are whizzing from the shelves!

If you’re a #poet or #poetry lover & don’t know The Dawntreader, published by the excellent @wavelace.bsky.social & @ronniegoodyer.bsky.social you’re missing out. Here’s a link to the @indigodreamspub.bsky.social site where you can buy the latest excellent edition #poetrycommunity #booksky

Great to have you in our summer issue, Paul.

Ooooo. Just breathe it all in...
Join me in their spines, in the soft corners of pages turned by those who came before you. @indigodreamspub.bsky.social

I have a canopy of bright leaves in my head, waiting to join those that are growing in my breast.
My own lilac forest; a naked heart.

You can't begin to understand how much joy this bag of gorgeousness is giving me. To confess: I am MAD about crochet & its calming tonic. Whilst words wait, the fingers are dancing with wool. @indigodreamspub.bsky.social @crochetlady.bsky.social @ronniegoodyer.bsky.social #crochet #crochettherapy

Thank you, Paul. That's really great to read 📚 👍

Absolutely thrilled to win 2nd prize in the Indigo Dreams Poetry Prize for my poem ‘Chrism’. Congratulations to winner @poetbex.bsky.social & thank you so much @vickygwriter.bsky.social for your lovely comments about my poem.😊
