Today is Atrium's 8th birthday! Thank you everyone for such staunch support over the years -reading the mag, sending poems and spreading the word. We couldn't do it without you. So have some cake! Claire & Holly xxx #poetrycommunity #thankyou #birthday
We may be different sides of the England-Wales border currently, but we do both have our Atrium mugs for our remote editorials! Today's snacks were chocolate chip cookies (Claire) and butterfly cakes (Holly).
Remember we posted about our @clairewalkerpoetry.bsky.social & @hollyannepoet.bsky.social at the #InternationalWomensDay do organised by @drruthstacey.bsky.social at Worcester Hive? Lots of poetry and literature events coming up at The Hive. Check them out here: thehiveworcester.org/698083C5F438...

So good to get together this morning for an in person editorial session. Thanks to Boston Tea Party, Worcester, for the refreshments! We - @clairewalkerpoetry.bsky.social & @hollyannepoet.bsky.social - did do some work too, honest.
Spotted at Merry Hill Waterstones by our @clairewalkerpoetry.bsky.social today - Atrium's entry in the 2025 yearbook. Lovely stuff.
Wishing everyone a contented and peaceful Christmas. Thank you for all your support this year. Lots of love Claire and Holly 🎄🎄🎄
