At the end of this year, next year, 10 years, let's look back & say this was one of the publications that connected us in this global effort. Grateful that @rough-diamond1.bsky.social included my poems here. The next blaze of resistance will be Haze: Countercultural Poetry from @thebrokenspine.co.uk

#POEMSFORPROTEST from @rough-diamond1.bsky.social has been launched! Thankful for the inclusion of my piece I NO LONGER CONFORM which is a poetic letter from son to father prior to attending #Woodstock 1969, in part inspired by a recalled pained conversation between my own father & grandfather.

Got my copy of Poems for Protest, published by @rough-diamond1.bsky.social. What an outstanding group of poets to be surrounded by!!! My poem, IT’S A SIN, was written after Trump ordered the bombing of Iran in 2025. I believe it is even more important today.

There are some very readable poems in this book. Written by proper poets, not feline fanatics. Would make a good gift as well as a self-indulgence.
