New #ekphrastic poem at @after_poetry. Read Penny Ayers' 'How Many Miles to Babylon?' #newmoon
'So one girl follows another,
each breast pulsing with candle flame,
until lightness tugs at their heels,
tips them star-wards.'

A wonderful ekphrastic poem by Matt Gilbert (@RichlyEvocative) published this week in @after_poetry. I'm now intrigued to find out more about the artwork that it was written after.

New #ekphrastic poem at @after_poetry. Read Matt Gilbert's 'Our days were'. #newmoon
' ... small white flecks, on the legs of distant cows, all
suspended in dry paint and time. And waiting, there,
amongst the dead, the girl keeps on growing younger.'

Something a bit special coming to @after_poetry from 9pm GMT tomorrow. A new #ekphrastic poem from @RichlyEvocative based on a painting he practically grew up with – one that takes its title from the final line of Thomas Hardy's 'After a Journey'.
(Yes, it IS all very meta.)
New #ekphrastic poem at @after_poetry. Read Anne Westbrook's 'I Don't Want To Be A Casino'. #fullmoon
' ... a place where your biggest risk
will be rolling the dice
on a writer you’ve never read –
maybe Frederik Backman,
J. R. R. Tolkien, or Anne Lamott.'

I'm not massive on films, so I'm as surprised as you are that two poems I wrote about films just came out. Cheers to @brokensleep for putting my take on Grease in their phenomenal Masculinity anthology and to @after_poetry for publishing my weird sequel to Patrick Swayze's Ghost.
Poets and poetry-lovers, do you know any *after* poems that you prefer to the originals? And/or have you read anything that examines *after* poems? All examples appreciated. 🌱
Whether you've been with @iambapoet from its birth on February 1st 2020 or joined the journey at any point since, thank you for visiting, reading, listening and sharing. You've helped make these past four years incredible.
New #ekphrastic poem by @Jenola101 up on @after_poetry in 24 hours' time. It'll be of particular interest to fans of Shirley Jackson – especially if you enjoyed 'The Haunting of Hill House'.
Don't miss @after_poetry's first #ekphrastic poem of 2024 from 9pm GMT tomorrow – brought to you by the black light of the year's first #newmoon.
It'll be lovely to welcome back past contributor to the journal, @maryfordneal. She'll be sharing her poem, 'Lux in tenebris lucet'.
