Happy end of 2025! A beautiful day by the sea - calm after the recent storms, lots of kelp on the shoreline showing the underwater turmoil.
No yearly round up from me, just gratitude to the poetry and writing communities, thank you, for your support, grace and encouragement. Much love for 2026 ✨✨

Winter arrives beneath the cloak of the old blue-faced one. She moves over hills, through woods, in shadow. Tightening the land with frost. Shaping the weather. Come in out of the dark to where poems gather like embers. Listen and drink in the latest wave of @iambapoet.com.

Well, here we are. The very first edition of The Book Bag Christmas List. Created in part by your recommendations. This week there's the list, opportunities, news and some festive fun and goodies. Grab yourself a drink and settle in this might take a while. Feel free to share with ...
The Book Bag Christmas Gift Guide 2025
Welcome one and all to The Book Bag Christmas Gift List 2025. How has your week been? Are you feeling festive yet? I’ve compiled this list based on reader suggestions and some personal favourites of mine to give some gift inspiration for the festive season. Another reason was to share and support your favourite poets and presses by buying books. So, to tenuously misquote one of my favourite Christmas songs, let’s step into this extensive Christmas Gift list. I’ll also drop in a festive playlist and some more festive goodies. I ho ho hope you enjoy…
