Let's reintroduce you to our 12 pFITE finalists!
In no particular order, first in the poetry category is Phil Vernon’s 'Assonance'. Written from the perspective of a history teacher in the future, this snippet of ‘Assonance' asks, are we bound to repeat the same mistakes? #pfite

Triangulation ‘evaluates the concept or ideas being investigated’ and these poems from @marian_v_o reveal exploration, creativity, humour, knowing and liveliness beyond mere definition. Love ‘Triangulars’! From @PenteractPress

Reclamation –
'Cranes circle high above the miracle
of sunbirds drawing nectar, motionless,
from coral and jewels they’d never have found before.'
Beautifully observed, with fine layers of nuance as always in Phil's poetry.

Should you pre-order @marian_v_o's new book TRIANGLES because everything she writes is beautiful, playful, & thought-provoking? Or because she's unfailingly selfless & supportive of the creative community?
Obviously both! Click below to order yours today. 📐⬇️

'Today I found you secreted
in dusty Kodak clarity,
tucked into a cardboard packet
behind the china-kept-for-best.' - From MILK SNAKE 🐍by Toby Buckley @longbeelad
What is it about the small things that allows them to hold so much: so much of our love, memories, secrets?

ALT Words to Say When Walking Out the Door Yes, you will be damaged. You will fail you sometimes in your blindness. Grief may snag its antlers in your branches before it leaves you, before it finds its way. Life, my one life, can you even hear me? Someone in the sleep they call their waking will crush your wonder, and you will crush their wonder. Bring your wonder; bring it anyway.
