Fascinating review and what you say about covering so many wars over against diving deep really resonated.

And so sorry to hear about your website.

I bought this book after hearing Lyndsey speak in Bridport. I think it’s such a good book. Personally I didn’t need a deeper dive and I read only one section each day.

Interesting review, as ever, Hilary. Thank you. But that paragraph at the end of the post...OH NO! Upsetting.

"Until recently we maintained the Friday Poem website (thefridaypoemdotcom) as an archive of 700 posts published between 2021 and 2024 (including most of the original Friday poems) but following a catastrophic hack we have made the difficult decision to take this down. We’ll be republishing some of these posts here on Substack in the future."
