leaves beckon us in golden array the last dance #haikufeels #haiku
loss a stain before loss was even a name we had for anything
merest of touches; never-sated want sinking its teeth deeper still
mouthglut, need-choking every text an agony hot with your caress—
stretching on tiptoes; tart-sweet morsels, plump with juice a little higher
along the dry-stone wall the ripest blackberries all out of reach #haiku

So sad to hear of the death of Bonnie Greer, novelist, broadcaster and hugely inspiration woman. She was a great supporter of this Womensart project & WA books and our chats will be cherished always. A true intellectual & beautiful person. RIP xx
It was one of the great joys of my recent life to know Bonnie Greer. A truly remarkable person who radiated such wisdom and intellect. And when she spoke the audience was rapt. A kind, generous, passionate and very funny human. Thank you for giving us you Bonnie. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

I have had some great teachers in this life, and she was the one who taught me what I could call the survival techniques to being a writer. I wouldn't have made it this far without her. I'm grateful to her, for her. Rest in peace, Annie.
