Brilliant way to end a bonkers term - 2 poems in the latest Under the Radar, a journal I've longed to be in 💚 Much gratitude to editors Jane Commane and Matt Merritt whose care for the work and professionalism is second to none and whose dedication keeps the wheels of poetryland turning. Thank you 🙏
