Last year, some lovely people read and published stuff I've written: firstly, Soor Ploom Press published Sonnet From St Catherine of Sienna's Churchyard in their Short and Sweet anthology, which you can and should buy here: soorploompress.com/product/short-…

What a start to 2023 from Soor Ploom Press - Allan Gaw’s excellent poem, Child, ferr lifts the winter chill. Liane McKay AG @FWritersS ScottishWriters Scottish Poetry Library #poetry soorploompress.com/2023/01/02/plo…

So thrilled to have been able to bring out @june_gemmell's piece St Kilda, and one if the loveliest things about publishing it was how well it was received by readers and writers alike. Special words, special story! 💚

I love how this poem drives forward and pulls back to the past at the same time. And 'verbal scribble'! 😃

I can’t believe it’s a year since my poem was the first Soor Ploom Press email. I’ve enjoyed reading the rest since. Thanks to Liane McKay for making me a wee ploomy and if you haven’t subscribed do - today’s poem by Janet Crawford is a cracker!

It's been a real joy to see all the love for Janet Crawford's poem today. If you missed it, here it is! This poem is like a gentle guide, quietly whispering in your ear, 'it's time, it's OK, it's safe, you can come out now...' 💚 soorploompress.com/2023/01/23/plo…

For someone who struggles to read, shame and embarrassment can often stop them from asking for help. It was no different for Danny*. But when the Shannon Trust mentor offered to help him with his canteen sheet, a bond and friendship was formed, and they started working together.

What a thrill to publish this year's incoming @FWritersS Scriever 😊 many congratulations again, Carol!

This week we have a fabulous poem by the equally fabulous @morag_caimbeul – I am utterly convinced that this poem will invoke the coming of Spring! 💚 soorploompress.com/2023/02/12/plo…
