I just sent a donation to Nine Lives, a Greek Cat Welfare Charity - a % of royalties from the sale of my book, A Tale of Three Tabbies. Thank you to those who bought the book.
This is so lovely, @jenwithwords! Thank you for the love and support towards our collaboration. I'm glad you've been enjoying IN THE BLUEPRINT OF HER IRIS (@IcefloeP). Also makes me smile to see her in the festive spirit already 💚

✨Today’s Bookmail!✨
A bold and striking collaboration of words by @VWC_Writes and images by @frede_kenter (both amazing artists that I very much admire) published by @IcefloeP .
This book is a wordy visual treat (also, a great holiday gift idea)!
ALT The book ‘In the Blueprint of Her Iris’ with poems by Vikki C. and art by Robert Frede Kenner sits amidst pine tree boughs and lights. Two small Christmas tree balls, on red, one gold, hang next to it.
Turn a corner on a narrow path through woods near Ashford-in-the-Water, and you chance upon this abandoned water mill. It once roared and clattered, creating bobbins for the cotton mills along the River Wye, but now it just crumbles quietly to itself among the trees, the haunt of owls and spiders. #peakdistrict
Continuing the ars poetica theme, here is 'Ars Poetica: Whitby Abbey, late autumn'. The spirit of a poem about writing a poem.
Thank you @MatthewMCSmith for prompting us to look through an unfamiliar lens. Many strange & beautiful findings 🖤

ALT Ars Poetica: Whitby Abbey, late autumn
I begin with what I cannot lose.
Detail carefully her trespass.
Despite stained-glass, & injury.
Despite repetition.
We sail into the next ruin,
anxious of losing meaning
—keep the haloed figure within eye-range.
Time elongates—cities constrict,
& rain mimics every device in one fell swoop.
The guests already know the exits.
Archways of sumac, red with refusal
—another crack at devotion.
Most gaze skyward.
I genuflect over century-wet marble.
See a swallow angling the world,
as the others close their eyes
—& aim.
Vikki C.
