A new poetry project, The Sonneteer, has brought me doses of pleasure and stimulation every other day since it launched. Today its editor, Ken Gordon, has shared my curtal sonnet—inspired by faded signs on brick buildings around LA and Tulsa, offering furnished rooms to let, etc.

A poem that deepens with each reading, and each time haunts me differently…
An old chestnut, on this, the darkest evening of the year.

Maps aren't just beautiful on the inside, they often have lovely covers as well. This is from a set of Danish archaeological maps, with a chambered tomb which has lost it's earthen structure and is left with just the stones. The title translates as 'Our past monuments'. @bodleianlibrary.bsky.social

I think we’ve hit the bull’s-eye with this issue!
A new look for a new year. Our Winter 2025 issue, which will reach readers in January, features work by writers we’ve admired for years, as well as poems and stories by those just starting their careers. A thing of beauty, inside and out. We couldn’t be more proud.

The Globe in Visscher's 1616 map of London. Built in 1599 the theatre burnt down in 1613 and was rebuilt the following year. This is a view of the original theatre, later maps show a more circular building. The 'Bear Gardne' was for bear and other animal baiting. @bodleianlibraries.bsky.social

Cover of my next book shows two bulbs, one above the other as if an hourglass, the upper on as if light will drain into its darkened twin beneath. Title poem link: poems.poetrysociety.org.uk/poems/an-arb...
