TriumphOfTheNow.com has been going for almost ten years, and in that time rather a lot of poetry has been discussed! Below is a list of some highlights. Please note that some of these go back almost a decade when I was young, floppy-haired and still beautiful: if anyone is upset by this, please be assured by the fact that I’m now in my mid-30s and I look as terrible as most of you now.
Enjoy – lots more – new – POETRY MONTH content all October!
