Such a stunning poem by Lucy Holme - Roberts published in The London Magazine 'the Basque summer ushered its stun of warm rain'
Iโm very pleased to have a poem in the new issue of Impossible Archetype today. โPencil Sketch of Myself as a Ruinโ is another of my widowhood poems. This one explores the sense of being left both broken and isolated, while life seems to go on as normal for others.
Iโve realised that poetry canโt be taught-if youโre an aspiring good poet you can learn the mechanics but that instinct with certain perfect lines-thatโs inborn artistry. Truly great poets reproduce it time after time-I just fumble. Frustrating and humbling to read great poetry.
Congratulations to everyone on this list! Saw Corinna Board and Frances Boyle this will be a fabulous list!
โThat the thickest skin the loudest trumpet call that tusks and tasks and a period of madness and life goes on and offspring and wrinkles and foldsโ Todayโs poem is โWhat I learnt from the elephantโ by Nora Nadjarian Nora Nadjarian Read it here: dustpoetry.co.uk/post/what-i-leโฆ
And it is live and final edits are DONE. It brings me immense pleasure to publish this issue. Thank you so much to all the extraordinary writer who have trusted us with their superb poetry. Poetry Ireland Irish Writers Centre Stuart McPherson orphicpress.com
Gothicist on wheels, about to start my doctorate at Manchester Writing School - be honest, #PhD folks, how hard is it to access doctoral opportunities in a wheelchair? What has been great? What has been bad? Don't wanna freak myself out but I want to go in prepared. #phdjourney #phdchat
