My poem, “Clean,” from DRESSING THE BEAR (@triohousepress.bsky.social) seems to be the most beloved, and I’m grateful for the ways it’s connected me with so many others who have experienced a similar loss. Thanks for this thread, Kelli! 💙

Congratulations to Richard Collins whose poem 'The Samadhi of Words,' has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Sometimes you read a poem and it turns on your head, everything you thought you knew. Richard's has done that for me. It's from Willows Wept Review

Eve Goodman was mesmerising at Acapela Studio. She launched her much anticipated new album Summer Sun, Winter Trees. We were treated to the whole journey of the album, an emotional landscape that has stayed with me since. The album, a great Christmas present.

Enjoyed Tudor Lanes open day. Loved seeing work of ceramicists, dye makers, wood artists, animal heads. Delighted to finally see my talented friend Dylan Glyn's graceful Sŵs side table. He uses locally sourced Oak, Ash & Cherry. Gwaith darlunio Cymraeg bendigedig! See his work on Insta: @dylan.glyn
