Out of Ange Mlinko’s finely-printed new chapbook _Darkroom_ (Foolscap Poetry, 2025). Intricately sounded (some sidelong end-rhymes: slab / squab, Myrmid- / pyramid, unhoused / composed) and moving by means of a sort of hopscotch continuum of metaphors (the archer god’s maillot jaune seeming

"Think not of the books you've bought as a "to be read" pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood."

“There is always Music amongst the trees in the garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.” – Minnie Aumonier

This tree stump is music and light. There is a community living inside this stump, they left the light on while they sing and dance

Enjoy the music today 💜✨✨

Edit the novel? Start the other three novels? Finish the play? Polish the last song? Write a new song? Finish three paintings? Start a new painting? Or organize the pantry and make a pre-holiday mega shopping list so you can cook some nice meals?

Continuing with my reflection of horses, in Horses Graze by Gwendolyn Brooks there is a fierce contentment, an invitation into a moment of stillness, a longing for simplicity and peace.

It's the Seasonal Reposting Competition! Repost this over the weekend, and on Sunday one lucky person will win a signed copy of one of my books. For you or the #crossword addict in your life: 50 fiendish @theguardian.com #puzzles and all the stories behind them:
boatmancryptics.co.uk/crossword-bo...
Boatman - the first 50 reportedly makes a great present or holiday read, exemplified by this image of the book opened to show the story behind the Shipping Forecast puzzle, on display on Brighton beach. Reviewing Boatman - the first 50, Alan Connor (The Guardian's crossword editor and the brains behind many of BBC2’s quiz programs) says: "This is one to savour. Boatman's puzzles are witty and ingenious. It is an extraordinary pleasure to read how his unique mind works. The first 50 is a book I never knew I needed in my life. Gift it to yourself and to the word-lovers in yours". Hugh Stephenson (Alan’s predecessor at The Guardian) says: "This is a unique book of crosswords" and Henry Morris: "a Boatman crossword is like a theme park. Each daunting line is a rollercoaster ... He scares you witless. But you can't wait to do it all over again". Boatman - the second 50 contains another 50 puzzles from The Guardian, with five bonus puzzles previously only available online and including puzzles, solutions and the ideas and stories behind them, exemplified by this image of the book opened to show one of the stories, which is accompanied by a picture of a large cow. Reviewing Boatman - the second 50, Gyles Brandreth says: "If you want a fiendish crossword, you want the best - which means you want Boatman, because he is the best" and Brian Bilston: "Cracking crosswords - each puzzle a delightful daily workout for the brain and a welcome tonic for the soul".

Beneath the cinemascope feel of this poem there is an acuity of observation, a connection with nature, a sense of love and loneliness.

It has some beautiful metaphors - ‘her long ear that is as delicate as the skin over a girl’s wrist’.

Old caves yield new secrets from Canadians who went over the top at Vimy Ridge | CBC News
A hidden archive of what for many were last thoughts and tributes to Canada is emerging from the soft chalk tunnels beneath the Vimy Ridge battlefield more than a century after they were created.

Painted tonight instead of sketching and actually pretty pleased. This went from being “the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and made in my entire life” to “oh, oh, this turned out pretty good!” 😂 I love art.

Abstract floral painting that turned out pretty cool despite starting out hideous.
