#36 A glimpse of winters past (in pictures)
And a year-end listicle of recommendations
What is The Wordsridge Newsletter?
a fortnightly literary and cultural endeavor. peppered with personal stories. curated with care.
Sharing above the new, one-line description of The Wordsridge Newsletter. Hopefully it will intrigue the minds of the readers on Substack!
Btw, hello!
How are you spending your breaths, reader? While I wait for the misty breath, this year’s sparse winter makes me nostalgic about the sheer winters past. And so, I am sharing with you some photos clicked in the winters of the last few years in the spirit of the season.
But first, here is a six-word poem that I wrote for StudentKind Literary Journal:
Winters sparse,
global-warming ain’t a farce.
Also, along with the pictures I am sharing below a listicle of recommendations at the year’s end. Enjoy!
