Thank you @chestnutreview.bsky.social for publishing my poem "a museum of waxwings." I am told all poets have a poem about birds, and this is mine. It's also a poem for my mother, who has dementia. Working with @michaelimossan.bsky.social on edits was a joy. chestnutreview.com/dilys-wyndha...

I'm so grateful that my golden shovel, “Titan[ic),” appears in issue 107 of @mslexia.bsky.social. It's an elegy to the victims of the Titanic and Titan, and I hope reads as a tribute to lives lost at sea. I also found out that today marks forty years since the wreck of the Titanic was discovered.

There really is something in the drinking water in Haarlem. For centuries, writers, poets, painters and sculptors have gathered here. I keep bumping into the most generous, creative people. Here's a sketch of me writing in Haarlem library gifted to me this weekend by the painter Walter van Dieren.

I found out that I'll be running a haiga workshop at @saloneurope.bsky.social's annual conference this September. I'm so grateful! Haiku photography and haiga reignited my creative spark during the pandemic, and I'm hoping this fun morning workshop will help others find (even more) creative joy.

Syd Shaw and I are publishing ekphrastic poems written in response to art by Andreea Ceplischi in the latest issue of Beyond Words. We only realised last week. The three of us worked together at Passengers Journal, so today feels like an unexpected reunion. www.beyondwordsmag.com/online-store...

Thank you so much to the editors at @rustandmoth.bsky.social , not only for publishing "Elegy" in their 2024 spring issue, but also for nominating it for a 2025 @pushcartprize.bsky.social. I'm deeply touched and honoured, and I'll be crossing my fingers and toes for all the nominated poets.
