Let's reintroduce you to our 12 pFITE finalists!
In no particular order, first in the poetry category is Phil Vernon’s 'Assonance'. Written from the perspective of a history teacher in the future, this snippet of ‘Assonance' asks, are we bound to repeat the same mistakes? #pfite

Triangulation ‘evaluates the concept or ideas being investigated’ and these poems from @marian_v_o reveal exploration, creativity, humour, knowing and liveliness beyond mere definition. Love ‘Triangulars’! From @PenteractPress

And #WorldPoetryDay is a good time to visit the @PenteractPress store, where you can not only buy my TRIANGLES and FRACTAL POEMS, but also Teo's THE OX HOUSE – and many other brilliant books too!

Reclamation –

'Cranes circle high above the miracle
of sunbirds drawing nectar, motionless,
from coral and jewels they’d never have found before.'

Beautifully observed, with fine layers of nuance as always in Phil's poetry.

@MimsSully I think you’ll like this one x

[Alina Stefanescu @aliner]

Stunning poem by Brendan Constantine. So perfectly calibrated— each pronoun, each address, each couplet.

[Dave's Scrabblegrams @dc_scrabblegram]

Should you pre-order @marian_v_o's new book TRIANGLES because everything she writes is beautiful, playful, & thought-provoking? Or because she's unfailingly selfless & supportive of the creative community?

Obviously both! Click below to order yours today. 📐⬇️

'Today I found you secreted
in dusty Kodak clarity,
tucked into a cardboard packet
behind the china-kept-for-best.' - From MILK SNAKE 🐍by Toby Buckley @longbeelad

What is it about the small things that allows them to hold so much: so much of our love, memories, secrets?
