Thank you Donn - I find the reading a bit of a struggle sometimes - but I love to hear others read their poetry and so I figured I should try and get over my self-consciousness and just do it! And thank you too about the photographs. I seem to have quite a few London underground images!
This is delicious: No more money they had said yesterday,
But really, when you look at it, a promotion.
Thank you - based on truth!
That’s the icing, and it’s a profound, yet gentle reminder to step off the damn hamster wheels!
The first photo is stuck in my mind since you published this. So much so that I got a poem triggered out of it.
Amazing! I love the idea that my photography could do that - be great to see it and if you want to post it with the image then feel free!
It’s in the works… not sure where to take it. It’s a dark one. Thank you.
Dark is good!
Very nice reading indeed-Thank you, Richard!
Thank you Paul!
Really nice reading by you, and the images are excellent accompaniment. Well done Richard.

David Whyte just posted on Shyness, and while the title includes the word Love, it applies to getting over our self-consciousness in artistic expression as well :-) https://open.substack.com/pub/davidwhyte/p/the-shyness-of-love-1af?r=2ias38&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
