Photo of me aged 23 modelling one of my hats, taken by dear friend and painter Nicholas Addison, in my bedsit at Muswell Hill just by Ally Pally. Almost 50 years ago! Well, almost 49 years ago. I remember that day so well.

You have to write for the love, because the publishing process and response can be upsetting, and the accolades so few (especially for poetry) yet there are collections I love that received little attention. But that creative rush is very special – no one can take it away

In @pascalepetit.bsky.social's final, fourth, poem, What Eagle Saw, Petit turns her focus skyward. The eagle hovers above the neonatal ward, her vision both forensic and mythic, maternal and ecological. @rsliterature.bsky.social

In Catfish, Pascale Petit’s third poem, we are taken back to the very beginning: the hospital ward, the incubator, the first wound of birth. Yet the poem refuses any clinical language. Ihttps://aftershockpoetry.substack.com/p/catfish-by-pascale-petit
