As the 'title' poem of Mark Antony Owen's (as much as the project HAS a title poem), Pastoral is a piece that hovers over the spirit of the place that gave my unfolding poetry collection its name. It's part of something I call the Scarecrow Sequence ... and now, part of TopTweetTuesday.

COVER REVEAL for our new issue tomorrow at noon 👀

Just a girl who likes using em dashes in her #poetry, but now I’m told that they’re a telltale sign of AI. Do I have to stop using them in case people think I’ve outsourced my writing to the machine? I don’t really want to second guess my writing style, but here we are 🤷‍♀️
