Last week's read #SealeyChallenge The inimitable Adrienne Rich Giving shape to uncertainty If I'm lonely it must be the loneliness of waking first, of breathing dawn's first cold breath on the city of being the one awake in a house wrapped in sleep #poetry @PoetrySociety

Last read for #WITMonth Stories by Tezer Özlü (1943- 1986) republished in 1987 as Eski Bahçe - Eski Sevgi (Old Garden - Old Love). How can a candid voice carry hidden meanings? A beautiful translation by Niki Stavridi @GlobalLitin

My fourth read for #WITMonth is Canto jo i la muntanya balla. Irene Sola has painted a canvas with words and created a tapestry of viewpoints, a true masterpiece!💥💥 @CatalanCulture @IRLlull The Greek translation by Maria Palaiologou @IkarosBooks is amazing!
