Good night to @visual_verse - thank you for a decade of brilliant prompts, wonderful curation, inspiring images and all your tenderness and care. You’ve been a beacon of light 😍
We are officially done. 100 pieces are now published in our final issue at visualverse.org. A Murmuration of Words on page 100 felt like a fitting way to go out. Thank you @hazelmason10 and thank you – beautiful writers of the world – for being on this journey with us.

This 10 year project celebrating ekphrasis, the process of writing + building a world writing community is now closed. Glad to end w/a moving piece by frequent VV'er @hazelmason10. It's been a huge part of my life, now archiving it @NCLA_tweets for all. Sharpen your pencils...

These are all so gorgeous - I am so proud to have such amazing words spun from my image. Wow. How extraordinarily lovely it is to see how word/image/word can branch out to do amazing things.

Deeply honoured to be featured in this month's edition of @visual_verse - a unique publication whose concept is incredibly inspiring (50-500 words, one hour, in response to an image). This month's image, by @sarahjfc, is dreamlike, exquisite, and many other adjectives.

Stigmata is live on @visual_verse. I enjoyed writing this in the short time I had. Nothing like writing an ekphrasis poem. It will make your brain melt into your cranium. 😁Enjoy. visualverse.org/submissions/…

The plethora of stories and ideas these Images inspire always amazes me! So proud to be part of the process!
"A letter arrived.
But not from the postman."
The November issue continues to deliver (ahem) on nostalgia, longing, childhood and a touch of mystery.
Enjoy a bumper crop of new writing at visualverse.org.
Congrats to all the writers published so far this month.

To fly in from the future in a dusk of pink forgiveness.
Do not distrust my lidded marble eyes.
The voided forest waits on for its carers.
My mother can’t breathe.
