Poet a Day Blog

There’s something truly beautiful about the simplicity of Bolts of Silk, an online poetry blogmag edited by Scots poet and crafter Juliet Wilson. The lines are simple, clean and organized - which can also be said of the poetry she chooses to feature. Unlike many other poetry blogs, Bolts of Silk is not a personal blog with musings by the author. It is a publishing venue where Juliet features one or two works per week by poets who submit their work to her. The poetry is varied and always worth reading.

I love promoting poets who promote other poets. Thanks, Juliet, for sharing beautiful poetry.

In her own words:

Bolts of Silk is an international online poetry journal in blog
format. Poems are posted two or three times a week, the newest poem
appearing at the top of the blog. Each poet has a link to their website
or blog below their poem and in the blog sidebar. All poems written by
any one poet can be viewed together via the sidebar labels list.

Bolts of Silk is primarily an English language blog, but Juliet is
happy to publish poems in Scots and related dialects, French, German,
Italian or Spanish. Please send English language translations of
foreign language poems to be published alongside the original. In the
case of Scots dialect poems, Juliet may request a translation to help
international readers of the site!

Juliet is looking for beautiful poems of less than forty lines that
have something to say. The topic or form isn’t important, the ability
to move the reader or cause her or him to think is. Similarly poems are chosen for the quality of the writing, not the reputation of the poet.

If you have poetry you would like Juliet to consider publishing in
Bolts of Silk, please email her on juliet DOT m DOT wilson AT
googlemail DOT com. You may first wish to read some of the poems that
have already been published there!
