For the @havehashad.com call I'm working on something so haddy I've broken the official had-speed barrier into a place that, if you squint, looks like a fusty British Library that forbids both heart and levity.

Thanks, Julian!

Just found out @librelit.bsky.social have nominated my little flash thingummy ‘The Cost of Living Underwater’ for Best of the Net!

RIP Yorkshire poet and playwright, Tony Harrison. This is one of my favourite poems, perfectly illustrating the depths of emotion you can find in everyday language, in approaching writing with humility and honesty

Writing is the best, creating pasts that didn't break you or futures that might, creating worlds and making sense.

That's extremely earnest but sometimes in the doing it hits you afresh.

A reminder from @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social today, if one were needed, how amazing @toddedillard.bsky.social is

There's a call from one of the big lit journals for material on the subject of football (soccer) but I can't remember which one. Can anyone help?

This is my New York poem. It's also one in which I misquote Kent Brockman.

Hi (not prone to hyperbole but THIS JACKET HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED MY LIFE)

Anyone ever shape up to submit to a lit journal only to be put off by a series of pre-scolds masquerading as submission guidelines?

Follow @barracudacore.bsky.social’s The Cattle on Substack if you have it. Lovely work from John Compton, Andrew K Peterson and J.D. Smith up there today, alongside this silliness

Thank you, Joanna! The poems are much worse

Thrilled to say my new chapbook will be released 14th Nov by the good folk at Inkfish Press. Can’t wait to share these pieces. Also stoked by the kind words writers I admire have bestowed on this little collection (more of that later!) 📖🌊

So pleased to have this reprint in the first issue of @thomasonianmag.bsky.social alongside great work by @sreelekha2024.bsky.social @shauricherie.bsky.social and David Kenny. Do check it out.

Thanks, Kat!

What a feeling being in anyone’s top 5 of anything!

Love a doggy poem! So pleased to be in this cool pop up issue from @mosspuppymag.bsky.social so do check it out 🐕 🐾

HEY RED! There are men and plenty of them whose heads resemble nothing so much as the head of a dick— color and form— America is full of them, a kind of brains I suppose at that. Thick .

Ever read an old poem and think: oh.

RIP William Carlos Williams, you would have loved Being Online.

Thanks so much, Aarik! 😊

I love HAD (radical sentiment, I know); so pleased they took this weird list poem

Pretty happy with a semifinal place for this poem in Wergle Flomp Humour Poetry Comp; means it was in top 56 of over 5000 entries!

Once more for the evening (afternoon? timezones are difficult) crowd. Features poems first published in @ex-puritan.bsky.social @redogrereview.bsky.social @the-engine-idling.bsky.social

Anatomy of An Axe — Ghost City Press Anatomy of An Axe by Ewen Glass Illustrated by Ysabel Hinrichs Published August 4, 2025 PDF Micro-Chapbook 14 Pages

Here's the link but to be honest you couldn't go wrong with any of these chapbooks ghostcitypress.com/2025-summer-...

What a day! My third💀from @havehashad.com, and Anatomy of an Axe - a micro chapbook with poems by me and ace illustrations by Ysabel Hinrichs - is out as part of @ghostcitypress.bsky.social fab summer series. No compelling way to say this but it'd be swell if you checked it out (link below)

I made a unforgivably egregious error when submitting. I uploaded the writing file where I was meant to upload the bio. THANK GOD the editor sent me a message telling me to 'be serious'

Thanks to @poetjohncompton.bsky.social for publishing this on his brilliant Cataloguing Poetry Substack; there's new work up there daily.

Not tyrna be all Jeff Goldblum but this one was... uhh... hard to write.

I don't know, too earnest?

Thanks to the amazing folk at Roi Fainéant for publishing.

A wee one for @alanparrywriter.co.uk of @thebrokenspine.co.uk's #PoemsAbout. Today's subject: glamour
