Really random but this is the first time in 7 months I have written a poem after major writers block, and I'm just so happy! #creativewriting#poetry#poetrycommunity
Absolutely adored Mark Pajak's collection 'Slide'. It's impossible to choose a favourite poem, each is so mesmerising in their own way that they demand to be read again and again. Thank you to whoever chose this to be included in the @PoetryBookSoc quarterly.

If you don't know this poet, you should. He died too early. I have carried this poem with me since his death in 2001. Everyone should know it...
By Agha Shahid Ali from his book, Rooms Are Never Finished (@wwnorton )
Dad, on the eighth anniversary of your passing, I'm remembering how incredibly kind and joyful you were. I deeply miss you you wonderful, hairy man and will be celebrating your life today. Love you so so much!

if you ever need to cry on cue, what works for me is thinking about the fact a queer person once would call every gay bar they had a number to just to hear the sound of other queers laughing somewhere, just listen, say nothing. as to not be alone. every week. for fourteen years.
Girl Parts @betty_poet @VervePoetryPres is a fascinating read and deals with so many issues a woman faces. I loved it and can't possibly recommend this pamphlet enough. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
