Day 12 of the #sealeychallenge - ‘Little Book O’Moss’ by @corinnaboard.bsky.social. I’ve never read anything by Board that I haven’t loved, and this micro-chapbook is no exception. A gorgeous set of poems about moss, with all Board’s characteristic flair and playfulness. @thebraag.bsky.social

This from @corinnaboard.bsky.social arrived today. Looking forward to it #poetrycommunity

The cover of the short poetry Mædwe by Corinna Board. (Mædwe is the Anglo-Saxon rendering of the word we now spell meadow and is likely to have persisted into Middle English - see wydwe for widow in the Nun’s Priest’s Tale). The title and the author’s name appear on a mustard cover on which, painted green, appear the stems, a leaf and spikelets of giant fescue grass faintly labelled taxonomically beneath Festuca Gigantea XLVII)

Sharing this absolutely extraordinary and unfortunately very relevant ghazal by @gitaralleigh.bsky.social which features in her upcoming pamphlet, Empirical, published by us here at The Braag.

Ghazal: Immigrant

I delude rose cotton on white, my scraped skin like bark. A fad, immigrant.
Phenomena glint in the flick of an eye if I whip my head a tad. Immigrant!
I grow stunted, other parts bolting. Furred & leathered for the marketplace,
my body lopes: awkward dork, clunky animal. Prey for the bad, immigrant.
I play at Jane or Charlotte in country-house attic headrooms, never Emily.
Cleaved & corseted, swathed in waltzes. I’m still Bertha, mad immigrant.
I enter the police state under night’s curfew. A bellied inspector in khakis
scrawls my name at roll call. Only here to be useful, to add immigrants!
I serve time, swipe prizes & drift, nebulous. Cloud paranoia rains sequins
crystals, a tucked & shirred self. My parents are finally glad immigrants.
I light candles, melancholy falls. Psyche scores low on trust; dyads nudge
bees, sup tulips. Mothersong of belonging says you were had, immigrant.
