@KathrynGray @neilsonandrew It’s just hit the top of my to-read pile

Some things are worth waiting for. Here’s @neilsonandrew’s exemplary pamphlet. Tender, technically wonderful, and thought-provoking. Soul, body, mind: my checklist for top-tier poems. Congratulations, dearest heart.

@neilsonandrew @KathrynGray Doesn’t mean she’s wrong! 😊

@KathrynGray BIAS-LADY 😂

Back from a trip to see my family in Scotland and what was awaiting me on my return but this grand wee magazine. Featuring the final part of a trilogy of essays therein I've written on excellence, entertainment, and edification...the final essay being on Seamus Heaney.

One of my favourite elegies

@JohnGillies6 @thedarkhorsemag Me too!

Our new issue, some copies of which were posted out to subscribers yesterday, arriving this morning. Thank you for this Jo Bratten. And not least for this fair-minded summation. 🙏🙏
