Folks outside Sri Lanka—I know all your countries are also on fire (it is really not a good year for anyone is it) but as you can tell from recent headlines such as these, Sri Lanka is doing extremely badly, and any support you can give, even small amounts, will go a long way. 🙏🏾

@Anthony1983 Anthony, I'm so sorry to read this. Such a tragic story and what a toll of guilt and trauma for a young 18 year old to carry. Your poetry and presence in propelling poetry for others is the truest dedication to your uncle.

@lucy_holme I think anyone asking for submissions should sign up to best practice guidelines, no. 1, let people know! Like someone said it holds up the poem. It takes a lot to submit and it pisses me off how callous some publications and schemes can be. Hold that August bravado, good luck x

@pascalepoet Wow! I'm still learning the names of plants and birds🙃 My 10 year old spotted them, they swooped in and nestled on a plant with fluffy buds next to our window, lots of chaffing, like they were sculpting clouds!. A delight to watch before school:)

... Poems about family, food and love sit alongside poems which are open in telling the truth of the war in Sri Lanka, without brutality or polemic. And every page sings with the love of language”.
