@poetry.foundationIf you be boy,
then I be girl
who wants to
sync samples
into classic.
—Tara Betts with the #PoemOfTheDay on International Music Day https://bit.ly/4z7cGsS
@davidatkinsonpoet.bsky.socialToday is #NationalPoetryDay. It’s also #BlackHistoryMonth
This reminds us that poetry is not an abstract art form - but something lived, overheard, dug up, carried, and spoken.
Poetry belongs to everyone
It is community, witness, survival. It is interest in one another.

@torpor-chamber.bsky.social@davidatkinsonpoet.bsky.socialToday is International Translation Day - this poem is about language, inheritance, & the emotional labour of a poet writing in English for a mother whose language is Spanish
Translation is not a technical exercise but a metaphor for a child’s role to interpret for the parent

@luparicommand.centerSometimes things become unavoidable, and not always for the better.
Track 18 of Dogface Words is: I Don't Really Want to Talk About Them
This concludes Side A of the collection. Side B will follow after a much needed break.

@davidatkinsonpoet.bsky.socialFirstly, I love the title of this poem
Secondly, followers know I love a sonnet. This subverts the traditional sonnet, written to a single lover, to a lament to the many – and though forgotten the emotional imprint of their kisses remain
‘the rain is full of ghosts tonight’
