Every Valentine’s Day, I giggle at the fact James Joyce had such a fierce fart fetish. His letters to Nora Barnacle are something to behold! 💨

On this day, in 1963, we lost one of the greatest minds in poetry. Sylvia Plath’s poem, Elm, featured in a dream I had the other night, so I figured it appropriate.

A HUGE thank you to @anthro_poetry @charliebaylis6 for publishing my poem, Breastplate, in Anthropocene. It is a response to a photograph (by Lee Miller) which shows a severed breast (post-mastectomy) on a white dinner plate. #Poetry #WritingCommunity

I believe (I think) I’ve found an old case of plagiarism in poetry?! I wrote this quote down from James Henry: “The human skull is of deceit / As full any egg of meat,” in my commonplace, but as I was researching, this quote by Mercutio in R + J appeared. Thoughts?!

On Boxing Day I will be taking you through how I wrote my poem, We Left the Garden, originally published by Eunoia Review: themaplemoon.substack.com

Today I wrote a Sonnet inspired by this piece of work by Jannis Kounellis! ✂️

4th Song from 77 Dream Songs by John Berryman (making love to marilyn monroe: the faber book of blue verse)

My brother is days old, but I am determined to foster a love of Literature.

This is certainly a first from The London Magazine…👀💫
