And in answer to your question @nytimes.com, our unequivocal conclusion is that @lori-wike.bsky.social is also the finest puzzle poet around!

This is my sculptural poem ‘decayed’ which was exhibited at the Words from the Wild show at Royal Holloway last year. The bark was recovered from a local restoration area in Bushy Park and belonged to one of the several conker trees that were recently cut down.

Today #lifttothesky the amazing @susiecampbell.bsky.social - brilliant, innovative, generous poet. I had the good fortune to read her #tenter (@guillemotpress.bsky.social illustrated by Rose Ferraby) in situ at #bayeux last summer. ‘Et Aelfgyva’ a particular favourite! @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

For my #poemsabout #oldskin with loads of thanks to @brokenspinearts.bsky.social for facilitating this....... & all who take part!!
Old Skin

For old skin say skin
suit, say skin tight, say
oil skin, skinny 
dip. Say peeled skin, 
thin-skinned. Say skin
flint, skin that can't be
turned to show a better 
side. Say folds that never 
return to home, say 
backs-of-your-hands like 
exposed sandstone.
Say skin deep, say skin
of your teeth. Say 
scared, say scared
right out of your skin.

Great audience for last night's @hempressbooks.bsky.social takeover event w/thanks to @brihughespoet.bsky.social and to Hem editor Richard Capener. I performed a sound piece through a gag (bandage) and continued my exploration of waste. Great chats with people afterwards!
