For #napowrimo #NationalPoetryMonth An Ice Floe Press announcement!
We are the true underground bubbling up from between the margins, marginal warriors of the poetry streets! We are all about stark and beautiful hallucinatory symphonic writing with the arc of a musical score.

Sharing my image for Day3 of #NationalPoetryMonth Wombwell Rainbow #Ekphrasis project & a short #micropoem to accompany. Please feel free - Gauntlet thrown - to write to it & post as a quote tweet.
autumn leaf/ snow covered / footprints /approaching spring/ a tiny twisted dance.

Happy Easter everyone! A new(ish) drawing/painting, The White Rabbit. The music hour for Easter Sunday will be along shortly.... um -- a bit after 10am today. Blessings everyone. To a better Spring; light changing places with the pistons of war, oppression, and callous hearts.

Reposting a lovely note by Alan Parry of The Broken Spine ❤️‍🔥

But how sad it makes me, missing you bright hearts 💔

Today at Geographies 2022 a powerful evocative mixed-media work by phenomenal visual poet Maggs Vibo Maggs Vibo. Sculpture, video, language, rawness, rumination and vision. Do check it out. ❤️‍🔥

Neither brother is free
when they may not lower

nets from their boats side by side
This is how the world ends:
Cain and Abel kneel in orange gowns

Winter scatters snow layer by layer
on the roots of the tree
