This is very interesting, Richard. It's a reminder of the existence of The Internet Archive and news to me that you can upload your own poetry books. Do they have to have been published already?

it was good to see you there last night, Corrine. It was such an enjoyable workshop resulting in potential poems on my chosen object, a chive flower. Also the approach can be applied to any natural form. So, many thanks to @northseapoets.bsky.social and @kathleenjamie.bsky.social

@corinnaboard.bsky.social Hi Corinna, I enjoyed your reading at @sophiaargyris.bsky.social launch very much. The mention of Icarus was very apt as I'm working on a poem featuring him. I look forward to hearing and reading them again in the recording.

Your course look very interesting, Sarah but I think March will not be convenient for me. Will you do some later in the year? Also, when you provide feedback do the poems have to be submitted within the month of the course?
