Autumn's here, issue 11 of @awirlzine beautifully championing the small, minimal & concrete in poetry! My [landfill blackberries], written specifically to submit to this issue, combines loopy waste poetics (Wastelands @guillemotpress.bsky.social ) with 'aswirlish' minimalism!

🧡

What a perfect day for @poetsfortheplanet.bsky.social to arrive here on this platform #nationalpoetryday!

Good afternoon and Happy National Poetry Day! This is the very first post from Poets for the Planet here on Bluesky. We are very glad to be here. To start us off here's Wendell Berry's classic, The Peace of Wild Things #nationalpoetryday #poetrysky www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ewB...

A hand holding a blue book. The cover reads Versus Versus 100 poems by deaf, disabled & neurodivergent poets. The cover design consists of a box filled with a pattern of blues and reds - somewhat like the marks of a finger print but arranged in oscillating waves

This wonderful anthology arrived in the post over the weekend! Very excited to include Versus Versus on the MA poetry pathway reading list ✨
