#NationalPoetryDay brings fond memories of the UK-based @BrieflyWrite Essay Prize I won last year for "Becoming Poetry," penned in response to the prompt: Where does the person end and the poem begin? Thanks again to @dang_clark, also for the interview.🙏 brieflywrite.com/2023/06/23/con…

"The primary school in my right palm is growing exponentially" from 'Earth as Mother' by Elena Chamberlain (issue 12, Briefly Zine) #poetrycommunity #amreading #litmag

My Submittable at 2 a.m. last night: "U up? Here's a rejection."

My email just sent my 3 Bridport Prize rejections straight to Junk, it has done this before, very protective of me, I’m expecting it might learn to put the kettle on one day.

Stage one of Poetry Prize judging is complete 👍 Up next: arguments. We will then contact all entrants in October before publishing the winners! #poetrycomp #writingcommunity

i think many writers/artists are like this, but sometimes out in ~the world~ i really do feel like a freak when it comes to how much i can enjoy something without needing to understand every bit of it. and sometimes i enjoy, say, a poem, even more, the less i understand it

Happy #SealeyChallenge! The challenge to read a book every day of August has begun and to help you with your reading the Poetry Society has curated a series of book recommendations from poets. This recommendation is by Daniel Clark (@dang_clark).
