🎉 It’s Official Release Day! 🎉 This Joyful Interlude, by gifted poet Lawrence Moore. Lawrence’s poems invite us to reflect & find meaning in the in-between moments & the quiet spaces we often overlook. This Joyful Interlude is exactly that: a soft, musical pause in a noisy, discordant world.
Quote from the foreword by Steve Denehan: "The poems here, hopeful and forgiving, are a balm and an antidote to the current coldness of the world. I look forward to getting happily lost in them again and again." Steve Denehan Launch Party flier - link on Eventbrite for a poetry evening tomorrow 20th November on Zoom. Closed captions will be enabled. Release day flier, showing the cover of This Joyful Interlude by Lawrence Moore, featuring a gravestone, 2 magpies and lots of colourful roses.

Pasted against the nebulous backdrops of doubt and passing time, This Joyful Interlude assembles a delicate collage of hopes and romantic longings.

Thank you to @janes-studio.bsky.social for all your hard work and brilliance.
Thanks also to @steverinod.bsky.social for your lovely forward.

Brave Little Bricks I Some voices in my head, misspending time, announce propensities that are not mine. All sorrows poured may simply trickle through; why hawk despair when dreaming's what I do? II For easy prey our enemies mistook brave little bricks more sturdy than we look. Through catapults, contentions work their charm; still yet, the castle lawn enkindles calm. III I'm tired, but renewed my trouble comes, arrays of trebuchets replaced with guns. By every angle tranquil set upon; from frayed preprogramme, frame continues on. IV 'It's ending now' slow clearing clouds confess, as doubtful as the shapes they coalesce and strange, upon the verge of problems' cease, to finally be conquered by release.

The Book Bag: Held Inside The Folds Of Time by Merril D. Smith
Welcome back to The Book Bag. I hope you’ve had a poetic week. Well, this has been a week. On Sunday, I attended the Black Bough open mic and read a couple of pieces. I then had a half day leave from work on Monday where we took Brody to the vets for a checkup and boosters. He’s healthy but he really doesn’t like the vets. Yesterday, the excellent Full House Literary launched their new issue, which contains one of my poems. I’m beyond happy to share pages with incredible writers.
