Check out the #poetry of these highly-rated #poets. @bernp.bsky.social @pdevonald.bsky.social @danielghinds.bsky.social @freemanpoet.bsky.social @martinadalton.bsky.social @carmellapoetry.bsky.social @lawrencemoore.bsky.social @jumpingjulespoetry.bsky.social @stridermarcusjones.bsky.social

PLEASE check out the poetry of the highly-rated poets above.
It's undeniably more difficult to successfully promote new books today as algorithms/A.I. make successful promotion a constant moving target. The writing community has been significantly diminished as so many supportive writers move around to other sites and spend less time online because of chaotic world events flooding timelines/feeds, as well as the relentless scams, cons, bots, fake author accounts and phony promoters wasting our time.
It's SO important for the writing community to come together and support fellow authors by reading & reviewing their books, and/or reposting their publication announcements.
The writing community is stronger when we stand together!
