Winter arrives beneath the cloak of the old blue-faced one. She moves over hills, through woods, in shadow. Tightening the land with frost. Shaping the weather. Come in out of the dark to where poems gather like embers. Listen and drink in the latest wave of @iambapoet.com.

Poets, I owe SOME of you an apology. A recent database fail caused around 12-14 poets' pages on @iambapoet.com to become corrupted. Bios vanished – taking with them all the effort put in to enhance these with links – and poems were replaced by the work of other poets. I've hidden all affected pages.

Over the Christmas break, I will painstakingly repair all these broken pages and bring them back online. In the meantime, please accept my sincere apologies if yours is one of the pages currently unavailable.
Thank you for your patience. 🙏🏻
