Poet John Foggin died recently. He was a poet who encouraged others, a poet with a profound connection to landscape and a love of language. We featured John in one of our early editions of the magazine, and very kindly wrote some creative writing prompts for another issue. As an act of remembrance, a creative response to someone who touched the lives of so many in the poetry community, I’d like to share the prompts again and invite you to write a poem in John’s memory, or just for yourself, for the joy of creativity. Thank you John, you’ll be missed.
