Something In Nothing: ‘fairy tales are very much not just for children’ and my word @zoebrooks.bsky.social what powerful poems that get right to the heart of the everyday: the fear, the love, the adventure. I couldn’t put it down. This you need to read 😯💛

We would just like to apologise to anyone who has booked for @annasaund.bsky.social latest workshop hoping they would work with 'other pets'. This should read 'poets'. There will be no cats, dogs, goats, fish or other creatures present. Unless you bring your own. @zoebrooks.bsky.social

Last night I dreamt I found a shark in a builders’ bag of compost. As it was still alive the rest of the dream was spent discussing how to get the shark back to the sea, which is miles away. Interpretations welcome.

Welcome, Juliette. So far I’m liking it here. I’m still getting the hang of it, but have found the lists feature useful. The whole Uk poetry scene seems to have moved over in the last week!
