. @irisannelewis.bsky.social's 'A Moonless Night When Lanterns are Shuttered', takes us on a hike through both nature and time, with sharp snapshots of a landscape that provides us with hope in the knowledge that even the darkest nights must end. inksweatandtears.co.uk/iris-anne-lewi… #Poetry
Title: A Moonless Night When Lanterns are shuttered

Author: Iris Anne Lewis

Excerpt: The track leads through thickets, threaded with eyes/Elusive scraps of dreams, they gleam, flicker out.

I'm thrilled to see my octopus poem, 'DEDICATE', published in the stunning new edition of Dust Poetry. It's an eight-line poem, with eight words per line and eight letters per word! The issue is full of absolute corkers, and it's lovely to see friends there too. www.dustpoetry.co.uk/post/dedicat...
