I can't quite believe that my poem ‘The Last Carry’ has now reached over a thousand likes on Bluesky, many of them from people beyond the poetry bubble.

All in all, a terrific example of how social media, when functioning at its best, can generate new readers for poetry.
Its references to Sylvia Plath and Sharon Olds tell us that this is a
so-called ‘confessional’ collection, though it rejects the torment and
taboo-breaking...
