‘Those January mornings when the sun comes up a gold, unraveling ball’ ☀️
Anthony Paticchio with a poem in the Christmas-Winter anthology. 👣

Wow I love this poem
In Scotland so spent NYE reading something Icelandic. By Nobel laureate Halldór Laxness. Bought it in North Berwick Oxfam. Pure unremitting misery with a curmudgeon obstinacy I now aspire to. Great night.
Thank you - it was great

That is beautiful- thanks for sharing
Leanne is great - so I’m sure this will be - highly recommend this as a start to 2025
Yes - love her - summer will show - a beautiful fun and radical novel - have my (now deceased) mother’s handwritten copy of her poem - ‘go the long way home.’
What can we do? What is anyone doing? - state decreed denial of healthcare - a death sentence for women.
Great review of the best Panto around - @nottmplayhouse.bsky.social always delivers the goods & the Panto has gone from strength to strength since Adam Penford took over. Enjoy it this Xmas.
Love this podcast and great episode - helps me think about how and when I write - good fun chat with great people

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.
