Blue Moon poetry ready for Diffusion Publishing Fair

I have just finished making poetry seed packets, filled with blue moon poetry, ready for the fair at the Diffusion Festival Publishing weekend.

Here's a poem naming each moon;

12 regular moons & one extra
old moon snow moon
crow moon

grass moon planting moon
rose moon

hay moon green corn moon
harvest moon

hunter's moon frosty moon
long night moon

blue moon

Occasionally there are two full moons in a calendar month. The second one is known as a blue moon, although it's not actually blue. I like to think that there are changes and shifts under a blue moon. And where better for the changes to start than in a dusty old map shop, a place that holds so many directions and definitions.

I am bringing the collection to the Diffusion Festival Publishing Weekend at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, on 25th and 26th May. www.diffusionfestival.org

Here are future blue moons, so you can be prepared; July 2015, January & March 2018, October 2020. Be careful not to lose your way.

planting poetry ready for Diffusion publishing fair

Poetry to plant in your imagination.

I've never really liked the idea of poetry trapped on pages in a certain order, so I came up with poetry seed packets. The poems are printed on separate sheets, contained in a seed packet.

 Free range, if you like!


All handmade by me. That's what I am mostly doing this week, preparing for the Diffusion Festival Publishing weekend at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff on 25th and 26th May.
