Lovers of #ekphrastic #poetry will find this a very satisfying read. A powerful, punchy sonnet from @seanaaburke.bsky.social - Medusa gets the last word!

Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us, and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position either. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism.

I very much enjoyed this interview. Mark discusses his 9 syllabic forms (a first!) and we’re also treated to a fine selection of his poems, including the Pushcart Prize nominated ‘Conkers’.
