Enjoying time with @corinnaboard.bsky.social ‘s pamphlet this morning. My favourite at the moment is A dunnock’s prayer- which I had previously enjoyed in Carmen et Error and was Commended in the Forward prize. Recommend !

‘Mædwe’, the new pamphlet from @corinnaboard.bsky.social, breathes shimmering new life into the familiar sights and sounds of the meadow. I particularly loved the skilled and sensitive use of form in this gorgeous little collection. Highly recommended! @salopress.bsky.social
