@roguestrands This was such a good reading. Such beautiful, moving poems. I especially loved the ones about wine. Can’t wait to get hold of your books to spend more time with your words.

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.

I think this is a national scandal.

Please RT if you do too 🙏

@AtriumPoetry @Julwe1 ‘who was in love with the moon but kept the sun inside her’ Just gorgeous 🥰

I really love Jack Gilbert's poems for their quietness. I wish there could be more future Jack Gilbert poems.
