A week and a half in, and the strangest part of publishing Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry has been hearing which poems land with people I've never met.
Which one, if you've read it, actually stopped you?

spoelt alle prikkels zacht weg

A hundred and thirty Roman curse tablets have been recovered from the spring at Bath — mostly complaints about stolen cloaks and coins, addressed to a goddess. Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry treats that as evidence, not folklore.

'They tread the steep pitch of Catherine Hill— / named for the patron saint of the weavers.' That's Frome. The name itself is doing research, not decoration. This week's episode calls that kind of specificity the whole job.

A barred pier. A bird with unrestricted access. And one irreverent theological observation.
Read “for the birds” by Tristan Robert Lange. 👇

This poem was written after canoeing on a lake on the border of Norway and Sweden. The photo was taken by my Silje on the same day.

🌹Bow out
Summer’s roses take their final bow -
some still vivid, some softened by time,
each making way with quiet grace
for autumn’s gold and winter’s hush.
Not an ending, perhaps - just nature knowing when to let the next season take the stage.
New poem just dropped: a frog serenading the dark, and a moon chasing daylight like it owes him rent. "Dark Night" is live on Half and One, read it before day ruins your mood again. halfandone.com/dark-night/ #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #instapoetry #naturepoetry #writingcommunity
Somewhere in Crowcombe church, two carved Tudor men have been fighting a two-headed dragon on a bench end for five hundred years. Nobody's declared a winner yet. Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry has a poem for that too.
'Every fifteen minutes, a fourteenth-century Quarter Jack strikes the bell, / a medieval gear turning beneath the slow creep of the scarp.' That's Wells. Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry, out now.
"Balancing the Scales" by Diane Funston

'Until the island is cut off and returns to itself.' That's Muchelney, which becomes an actual island most winters. Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry, out now in paperback.

Six weeks of these posts, and Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry is finally a book on a shelf, not a date on a calendar. Thanks for reading along. Next: Northumberland, coast to Cheviot, March 2027. What should I look for first?
Somerset In Verse – Exmoor To Levels In Poetry runs a hundred miles and seventy-six poems, from Exmoor's sandstone to a marsh that swallowed a village and kept every detail. Out now in paperback, alongside Macfarlane, Armitage and Jamie.

avond rust zacht op bomen
niets hoeft nog te gaan
