I was honoured to be one of the 110 poets included in Yvonne Blomer’s latest and last poetry anthology dealing with the difficult aspects of climate change and water.Sublime: Poems for Vanishing Ice is now freshly launched, following two days of readings, commencing on what was appropriately both World Poetry Day and World Water Day.
Not all 110 poets featured read, but 28 of us came from near and far, with pl
easure, gratitude and admiration for Yvonne’s perseverance over the past decade of her work on the trilogy.
Three gorgeous posters for silent auction: Refugium, Sweet Water, and Sublime.

“…A beautiful, filling collection, Larder is a set of poems to read at the change of the seasons, to appreciate alongside a good meal, and to remind yourself of the beauty in everything, even the things you may not appreciate before opening McAdam’s collection….”
