This is very interesting, Richard. It's a reminder of the existence of The Internet Archive and news to me that you can upload your own poetry books. Do they have to have been published already?

Thank you very much, Mary.

@corinnaboard.bsky.social Hi Corinna, I enjoyed your reading at @sophiaargyris.bsky.social launch very much. The mention of Icarus was very apt as I'm working on a poem featuring him.
