I'm really pleased that my poem "What you should do is this" has found a home in Mugwort Magazine, along with an enticing host of other poems by other poets. Do have a look!

An Easter poem I wrote a few years ago, which was published in New Writing Scotland 39 (2021) - and I've just realised it was shared by ASL this Easter. I'm touched, honoured and delighted all at once. I hope my grandmother would be pleased...

There’s a boulder by the forest path, left by the ice ten thousand years ago, it waits, patterned with lichen… —Antonia Kearton, “A Benediction” published in Break in Case of Silence: New Writing Scotland 39 (ASL, 2021) #Easter #poem asls.org.uk/publications...

Antonia Kearton A Benediction There’s a boulder by the forest path, left by the ice ten thousand years ago, it waits, patterned with lichen the quietest blue, yellow soft as cream, knee-high, flat-topped, so wide I cannot wrap my arms around it – small hands of moss patter up its side. It’s nothing like my grandmother’s table at Easter, but that’s what comes to mind, dark brown and shining under the white cloth, bearing the feast, eggs dyed with onion skins and at the centre, sweet pashka a resurrection of butter, eggs, and cream, radiant with bright sugared fruits – moss green, rowan red, the sun’s strong yellow.

I enjoy these podcasts. I seldom have the time for lengthy podcasts - these are c.15 minutes and I emerge from them feeling I've really spent time with the poems discussed in each.
