A boost of a boost! 😁

Oh did I forget to mention The Book Bag’s Poetic voice for June the trailblazing stargazing, poetically phrasing @MatthewMCSmith collection The Keeper of Aeons was reviewed on The Book Bag? ‘Visceral, thought-provoking, clever’ paulwritespoems.com/2024/12/08/the… @TopTweetTuesday

My next review for @TopTweetTuesday is the always supportive @helen_laycock and her book Elemental. ‘Vivid poetry that packs a punch….exquisite and special’ An Ocean of Orca Tears is one of my favourite poems paulwritespoems.com/2024/11/10/the…

Should tag in @TopTweetTuesday oops!

A quick micro review for @hool415 star of Silver Branch and Forward nominated, a man whose authenticity and caring nature comes through in every piece he shares. Also a generous booster of poets. 👏👏👏

The Book Bag has landed on the fletching of an arrow. @adam_panichi’s Cupid, Grown published by @brokensleep is honest, delicate, raw and unflinching. Take some time to read my thoughts, see an accompanying playlist and catchup with news. Link: paulwritespoems.com/2025/07/20/the…
