Story and Poem of the Month

Our Story and Poem of the Month for September, very kindly chosen by Ewan:

Pick of the Month

It was hard work choosing between some very high standard work in September. Indeed, everyone’s contributions lift the standard higher every day. So consider yourselves all as honourably mentioned.

Story Of The Month

Ivan the Ok-ish’s ‘Welsh Lessons’ Parts 1,2, and 3  share the honour of story of the month this time.
An accurate depiction of young adolescence in 1970’s Wales, it serves as a reminder that racism and prejudice have always been with us. 
Read Part 1 here, Part 2 here and Part 3 here.

I’m sure you are all awaiting part 4 with bated breath, too.

Poem of the Month 

One of the best poets on the site, Ralph’s work is always thoughtful and layered. 

‘Home Safe’ is no exception.
