New poem on my very free Substack! This one's about climbing a mountain in Ireland. It's in 'Crossing Paths', a beautiful little book in which me and @richardnskinner.bsky.social put together our poems about walking. @blackcatpress.bsky.social

Thank you Dumfries and the Coach and Horses for a brilliant night on the 'Crossing Paths' tour! Such a warm welcome, lovely to see many old friends again and hear some fine poetry in the open mic. Look, there's our poster on the chimney breast. And the river Nith. @blackcatpress.bsky.social
