Aw, thanks so much Siôn!! Glad you’re enjoying the common poems, and also Nat’s book is brilliant isn’t it!

It’s a great poem Heather! And all made from second hand words so very appropriate to the theme, which I love. Sounds like a great exhibition too. I didn’t know the Wellcome Trust did these!

Oh wow! I’d love to read your poem if you feel like sharing it? I think there’s something lovely about the rhythm of the phrase ‘You & I are Earth’

Hello! Would love to be added please - thanks for all your hard work, and for finding me. I’ve had a look for pals and can’t find @natholborow.bsky.social @rhysowainwilliams.bsky.social @mariellisdunning.bsky.social on your lists yet so they’d be good to add too if you can. Amazing resource!! 👏🏻

I'm reading this by @raehowells.bsky.social

Not very far in yet but much of it chimes with my experience growing up on the edge of an underappreciated common in the foothills of Eryri. I'm already making plans to visit West Cross!
