Recommended by Captain Cat's Chat - By Alex Oliver

I believe we are here to be warriors of light—to cherish truth, beauty and freedom, champion nature, support ourselves and each other when darkness seeps into the marrow of our lives, and rejoice in each moment of wonder at the ineffable magic of life.

Poetry, Art, and Unseen Things

By Rebecca Cook

Rebecca Cook shares digital drawing and lyric poetry with a philosophical edge that is as razor sharp as it is heartfelt and tender.

This work takes a different form without becoming overt or over-trying. As an English reader, I like the refreshing use of the 'norm' that some American writers seem to use ad everyday speech - an unrealised magic, like Ferlighetti - some things are familiar to the British, yet still not (thankfully perhaps) quite the everyday.

SWWIM Every Day

SWWIM Every Day publishes a poem a day by women writers (she/they).

whilst they have a sociopolitical standpoint, it seems a necessary portal for some writers: who are as much if not more valid than others who simply, thoughtlessly, blurt. And they were polite to me, ie a bloke🙂

Laura Thompson’s Substack

By laura thompson

Writing on writers - Nancy, Agatha, various Elizabeths and more. And on other things, from classical ballet to classic murder trials. Whatever interests me, and I hope you also.

So far, I like the material discussed and how it's handled - and look forwards to more reading

Rock and the Beat Generation

By Simon Warner

Where hip writers meet hot rockers

Am reading Beat Poets (again) as I like their langugae (when they aren't cussing or being vulgar - which isn't really art to me).

My personal Substack

Maya C. Popa

Writing on the inner conditions of serious creative work

The quality of work it publishes - and the comment it introduces it with. I like the philosophy (so far:) and rationale. And not least the fact that it seems like genuine posting, rather than 'like' fishing
