It was a joy to edit the Grassroots issue with the immensely talented and lovely Patrizia Longhitano and the launch on Wednesday 6th November was quite a night after quite a day! It proved very healing to be among all the wonderful poets and the strong sense of community whatever our beliefs. Diversity is what makes us strong and yesterday I needed poetry and a feeling of being re-energised. Thanks to all the readers and to everyone who came. A few pics from the event at the Farsight Collective to give a taster. And a taster of cake! Happy Birthday Magma.
