"The river was gunmetal grey;
Stretching away under a lead sky.
And when the shop slipped into the Clyde,
Grown men cried"
From "The Clyde", in May Day, a new collection by the fabulous national treasure that is Jackie Kay, out now from

So I just spent good hour realizing that I am in fact, a #Poet, have two #PoetryBooks out, and have not done anything about that for ages because #ADHD made me delete that knowledge, and need to do some serious updates - so hey.
Pähkinä Kyöpeli will do a re-release of the two books with new covers, and I will get on top of things hopefully before Halloween.
Want some poetry books about accepting the past, healing, and learning to love yourself? Want to support a queer artist? Then you can check out my online store at https://ko-fi.com/thepoetsky/shop
I have three books available, and a few stickers too. And I can ship worldwide! I've never shipped outside the US, but we can learn together!

Welcome! I am a poet and self-pub author from australia.
I have published 5 pocket editions of classic poetry works (so far!) and always carry at least one when I travel.
I also write science fiction, and have recently published a children's book with a tale in verse.
