All the love to @ogre.red @dreich.bsky.social @iambapoet.com @feversof.bsky.social @alienbuddhapress.bsky.social @acidbathpublishing.bsky.social and other independent publishers who have patiently helped me work out that it is ok, I can write things worth sharing. #LiftToTheSky #Poetry
Today for #LiftToTheSky we should give a boost to our lovely wee indie presses who are often run by solo enthusiasts wanting to give a voice to lesser known poets. They put in a lot of hard graft to curate anthologies, run social media accounts and workshops and support poets in untold ways. 1/2
