I never stop being grateful to editors who include my poems in their anthologies/journals... it continues to bring excitement and encouragement!! Thanks muchly to @alanparrywriter.co.uk for including my sort of coming-of-age poem in this great looking volume now published by @thebrokenspine.co.uk 🙏

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 9mo agoThe President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
I Hope all #promptcombo folk will forgive one of my very occasional forays among your number 🙏..... just couldn't resist the current #workinglove prompt from @hool415.bsky.social !!!
