Poetry Blog Digest 2023, Week 50

A personal selection of posts from the Poetry Blogging Network and beyond. Although I tend to quote my favorite bits, please do click through and read the whole posts. You can also browse the blog digest archive, subscribe to its RSS feed in your favorite feed reader, or, if you’d like it in your inbox, subscribe on Substack.

I’ll probably skip next week and be back on New Year’s (Eve or Day) for the final edition of 2023. See you then.
