I NO LONGER CONFORM ☮️ For Woodstock, for equality and the peace movement. First published by Rough Diamond Poetry 03/2026 #Woodstock #NoWar #Equality #60s #Counterculture @rough-diamond1.bsky.social
Now I have my copy, I can wave this in the air and insist that you read it... there's so much good stuff in it, by so many good poets. Thanks to @charlottecosgrove.bsky.social and @rough-diamond1.bsky.social #poetry #poetryanthology #protestpoetry #protestpoems #mustbuys
At the end of this year, next year, 10 years, let's look back & say this was one of the publications that connected us in this global effort. Grateful that @rough-diamond1.bsky.social included my poems here. The next blaze of resistance will be Haze: Countercultural Poetry from @thebrokenspine.co.uk
#POEMSFORPROTEST from @rough-diamond1.bsky.social has been launched! Thankful for the inclusion of my piece I NO LONGER CONFORM which is a poetic letter from son to father prior to attending #Woodstock 1969, in part inspired by a recalled pained conversation between my own father & grandfather.
Got my copy of Poems for Protest, published by @rough-diamond1.bsky.social. What an outstanding group of poets to be surrounded by!!! My poem, IT’S A SIN, was written after Trump ordered the bombing of Iran in 2025. I believe it is even more important today.
Its out and available internationally from Amazon! Thank you so much to all the sensational poets who chose to submit to this. Our favourite theme so far😍 www.amazon.co.uk/Poems-Protes... 23 s
