Thank you so much, and so sorry I missed this! I’ve not been online much in recent months, I’ve had to focus on my health for a while. Grateful to still have folk interested in (& remembering!) my poetry 🙏💫❤️
For today’s #LiftToTheSky I’m boosting Larissa Reid @ammonitesandstars.bsky.social Check out Rock/Salt produced for an exhibition with painter Elspeth Knight and her Silver Bough feature www.blackboughpoetry.com/larissa-reid...

In 2021 The GMB Fellowship published Gousters, Glims and Veerie-orums – a collection of poetry and prose in Orcadian dialect.

The Orkney Voices writing group have now recorded it as an audio collection. Listen to the first episode NOW at gousters.transistor.fm or wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧

The best thing about this, for us anyway, is that I can see what the #BrokenSpineFamily is in in just the one place. The posts being collated here, by writers that I have admired and published over the last five years, is a beautiful thing!
