Odds Bodkin Substack features new projects including his epic poem, The Rowan Canticles: A Tale Told In The Ancient Manner, one Canto per week. About the length of Homer's The Odyssey, the work features various rhyme schemes and hidden word games.

Odd's got this year long poem he's been sending out. You'd like it.
