Many thanks indeed to John Beynon for his review of my new poetry collection, A Time for Such a Word, in the latest issue of The Cannon's Mouth. I really appreciate it.

@MichaelRosenYes Wishing you all the very best, Michael.

Long Covid day. For the record, Long Covid takes many forms. In my case, it's more of a matter of permanent damage: numb toes, aching joints, loss of most of the sight from my left eye and blurred vision, and loss of nearly all the hearing from my left ear.

@mattnunn318 Thank you for the like and repost, Matt. How are things with you? Good, I hope.

A Time for Such a Word. Available from blackpear.net Amazon and related outlets. The latest poetry collection from Michael W. Thomas. Here you will find dark corners that exist for good reasons and are most carefully explored, and also much light and hopefulness.

@Anthony_Anax My new collection has recently come out so I guess it won't count. But it's A Time for Such a Word, Black Pear Press, April 2024.

An afternoon of refreshment, poetic and otherwise. If you can come along, it will be great to see you.
