As part of my slowed down #SealeyChallenge I spent the morning with this delightful pamphlet from @jenferoze.bsky.social!
A Dress with Deep Pockets is a collection of stunning poems about friendship, youth, and motherhood. I can't recommend it enough! 👗 ❤️

Today’s #sealeychallenge read has been ‘A Dress with Deep Pockets’ by @jenferoze.bsky.social. I’d heard a lot of good things about this pamphlet, and rightly so - there are so many outstanding poems in this little collection. I’ve already set it aside for a reread!

Karan thank you so so much! Appreciate you hugely xxxx
In ‘A Dress With Deep Pockets’ @jenferoze.bsky.social creates an ode to friendship — fierce, tender, honest, these poems shine with love & understanding of how it feels to move through the world as a mother, a friend, as someone who’s gotten to middle-age without working out who they want to be!

I have been reading this in tiny bits, every part a mini-break from life. I have returned to, and loved each line from Let’s start a commune: ‘let’s eat chips and watch Bridget Jones’ and ‘let’s be ok’ -

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.
