hullo, national poetry day
ee cummings all nearness pauses, while a star can grow all nearness pauses, while a star can grow all distance breathes a final dream of bells; perfectly outlined against afterglow are all amazing the and peaceful hills (not where not here but neither's blue most both) and history immeasurably is wealthier by a single sweet day's death: as not imagined secrecies comprise goldenly huge whole the upfloating moon. Time's a strange fellow; more he gives than takes (and he takes all) nor any marvel finds

Had such a great time running this poetry comics workshop at Zinezilla yesterday. One thing I asked participants to do was complete the sentence “The truest thing I know is…” then boil their original art / collage for it down to a simple single shape, then lay it all out into a single group piece...
White sheet of paper with hand written lines saying "THE TRUEST THING I KNOW IS..." A room of participants from the poetry comics workshop at Zinezilla 2025 lining up to read everybody's collective piece.

Waking up to being lost - I'm so grateful to Michael Mackmin for thinking about about my poem for @rialtopoetry.bsky.social www.therialto.co.uk/pages/2025/0...
The Lost – Dante’s Inferno, Canto 1 lines 1-3 Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, che la diritta via era smarrita. At one point, midway on our path in life When I had journeyed half of our life’s way Half way along the road we have to go I came to in a gloomy wood In the midway of this our mortal life Midway upon the journey of our life Midway along the journey of our life I came around and found myself now searching Through a dark wood, the right way blurred and lost I found me in a gloomy wood, astray I found I was in a dark forest I found myself within a forest dark I found myself obscured in a great forest Bewildered, and I knew I had lost the way Halfway through the story of my life I woke to find myself in a dark wood Gone from the path direct For I had wandered off from the straight path For I had lost the path that does not stray Midway in our life’s journey The straightforward pathway had been lost Chrissy Williams

Pepe Silvia eat your heart out… In love with @laurenknight.bsky.social’s next GOLDEN RAGE cover!
Cover for issue 4 of Golden Rage Mother Knows Best showing a woman in front of a board of clues, raging, full of knowledge and power, the word MENOPAUSE written in red over the top. With all regards to the Always Sunny In Philadelphia Pepe Silvia meme. Close up MENOPAUSE detail from the issue 4 GOLDEN RAGE cover. Thank god it’s only a pause, and not a full stop.

Got to love that maternal instinct… My comps for GOLDEN RAGE: MOTHER KNOWS BEST issue 3 are here - out next week with @imagecomics.com! Brilliant work by @laurenknight.bsky.social @sofiedodgson.bsky.social and The Officially Eisner Award Nominated Letterer @beccasee.bsky.social!
Golden Rage issue three cover showing denim clad axe wielding blonde woman with a tough baby in her arms. We put this image on a Christmas card last year. Cropped view of first panel of the issue, showing an old woman (The Witch) looking in a mirror. Text reads “Kids, eh? You can’t live with em, can’t kill em” Old woman says “well I say that” before SNIKTing open the long thin knife concealed in her walking stick. Terrifying old grandma hides the knife in her walking stick again, saying “It’s not actually true”.
