We're happy to announce that we are the last place on earth that hasn't gone *absolutely insane* and are open for visitors.

Carmella de Keyser holding her second collection Chasms. Publisher - Alien Buddha Press.
Front cover of Chasms, by Carmella de Keyser, publisher- the Alien Buddha Press
Fissures, lines, cracks etchings, imperfections in Earth.
#Chasms originates from the Greek word 'khasma' meaning yawning hollow/gulf. It is also, a profound #divide, #rift or impassable #rupture in the #earth between entities, peoples, #feelings, or ideas.
While writing Chasms, I felt hopeful in bridging all the internal #intersections I was considering.
More #fragmentsfriday poems to comment on from yesterday. All
in good time!
‘Hours after Midnight’, a new #poem for #fragmentsfriday
Happy Friday all.

Hamnet - very good film. 8/10 at the minimum and a lot more for the lead actress Jessie Buckley who kept the film’s emotional weight right through. Tremendous performance. ….
