After a conversation or several @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social, swooning over our chapbook series 'The Flirtations', we're full of ideas for what next.

excerpt of my prose poem "Year's End, London, 2018" 

"It was a season where/we all suffer through notions strung together on wrist/pendants, dreaming vivid textiles woven into blankets, /fraying. The children were experiencing heartache, loss, and/ trauma. "

We've spent the past four days in Brighton catching up with friends, and generally enjoying the good vibes, @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social

I absolutely recommend literary festivals of any kind. It's such joy spending time with like-minded folks ☺️

You know a book is good when it has a coffee stain on it within a couple of days! This pamphlet from @victoriaspires.bsky.social on @salopress.bsky.social is so good; rich, varied, and always illuminating (soi-lui a personal fave)

If you don't already know @salopress.bsky.social , check them out. They are a small publisher based in the UK and (although I'm slightly biased) I think they publish some brilliant work.

There’s no football on, and is not a Fake or Fortune night, so get your computer on, and some little snacks, and come to a poetry reading. Also you could order the @salopress.bsky.social book you like afterwards. I’m going to get dressed up as if I’m in Manhattan 🩷

Weekend reading. Books which fit in small bags and are perfect for crisp picnics and a bottle of alcohol-free beer 🩷 see my PhD in action in Art Sundays and how the placing of the red lipstick on lips is tactical and how hot men in art films make us feel. Summer 2025 @salopress.bsky.social

Loving seeing people get their @salopress.bsky.social books in the post. Check out Salo. They are cool and I like to think they probably would be in The Kids from Fame, which is my measure of cool.
