Had a good view from Harbour Centre on an August staycation adventure. This is a nice companion via Harbour Publishing (although one craves more depth than breadth).

Congratulations Aidan Chafe @allegorically.bsky.social on @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social Poet of the Year! This suite of poems hug and they cut. They give side-eye. They hold my hand and break my heart. I recommend reading the teriffic interview (link at the bottom).

OMG, that is so awesome! Halloween has always been my favourite. I even had a Halloween-themed baby shower, LOL. I’ve got a countdown app and this wooden sign from Spirit Halloween. Would be perfect for an anniversary. I’ll follow the BS countdown too!
