Well done to Jessie Lendennie and her team at Salmon Poetry for publishing the most books of poetry between 2013 and 2018.

I ran my finger down the list of artists’ names until it stopped on one: Ursula K. Le Guin.

‘September in Australia’ by Henry Kendall Grey Winter hath gone, like a wearisome guest, And, behold, for repayment, September comes in with the wind of the West And the Spring in her raiment!

… Wordsworth as he tossed and turned and counted sheep, perhaps after a rollicking New Year’s Eve party. Hope you got some sleep once the brand new decade had dawned. Maybe reciting William’s poem can give you “fresh thoughts and joyous health!” in 2020. To Sleep William Wordsworth (1770–1850) A flock of sheep […]
