Hey Mike. How are you? I’m cold.
I always do this with books – I can’t get things published and then a couple
years into the process I end up getting two books out at the same time so it
looks like I’m a word machine but I’m really just not synched with timelines.
That said, got a normal poetry collection out with Wakefield next year, so
it’ll be weird. How is your writing going? I really love some of the poems
you’ve sent us. Makes me want to hear you read again.

Hi Heather
Did you send feedback for the last fortnight? I'm not chasing you about it, but
just know that you may well have done it but not sent it, or had problems
sending it because you were at Clayton Bay.
Congrats on your RecentPress publication. You are a word machine
Mike xx

Dear Pesticles
I'll jump in with a prompt to keep us going
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a Flaneur poem,
Could be as simple as just recording what you observe on a short walk (urban or
rural), or in a Cafe or pub.
Here's a good article with examples
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/90821/dont-forget-the-flaneur
Or of course write whatever the feck you want
