I am delighted that the wonderful Susan Richardson @shadesofgreen.bsky.social has included my poem Early Summer Walk in her Sunday Poetry Series. Normally, I would post a recording for #poemsaloud. But I am thrilled that Susan will be reading the poem later this year #poetrycommunity #poetsonbluesky
