Join the 1%, this Edinburgh Fringe. Amidst the behemoth programme of the Edinburgh Fringe, you can find just about every performance artform on show.

Great post by @benmacpherson1.bsky.social highlighting why (and where) you should see poetry at #EdFringe! It may be the smallest section of the programme, but it's the mightiest!

As a freelancer, I feel like any publication I write for should give me a lifetime digital subscription so that I can always access my work. I have written for places where I literally cannot read my own articles due to paywalls.
