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

New Braag micros up at thebraag.co/shop/ 🌸 Lavender Hill by Lauren Thomas looks unflinchingly at the natural world and the darker side of female experience. 🦠 Little Book O’ Moss by @corinnaboard.bsky.social is a bright glimpse into the miniature world of moss.

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)
