Just got this lovely thing through the post- I’ve not bought a copy of @thealchemyspoon.bsky.social before but opening it to find two poems by @vanessalampert.bsky.social was already a treat. Looking forward to the rest.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

RIP Michael Longley. I'd known him for over 40 years when he taught an Arvon with Paul Muldoon. I always said Paul supplied the genius, but Michael the magic: how else would a classicist write 'Ceasefire', an intervention into a vicious war admired by both sides? Ave atque vale.
