I've long since given up on New Year resolutions! In fact "The Photo I Didn't Take" has a poem in it about my singular lack of success with them - they've inevitably "gone AWOL - out with the empties" by mid-January. But I do look forward with good intentions at the start of the year - and a stunning dawn sky gets me off to a very positive start. I was fortunate to be have both a poetry collection and a prose volume published in 2024 but in other ways it proved a difficult year - as it did in the wider world for so very many people, for some in catastrophic ways. But perhaps the dawning of 2025 could offer hope of better things to come. Here's too a peaceful, healthy, happy and productive one for us all.
