Autumn's here, issue 11 of @awirlzine beautifully championing the small, minimal & concrete in poetry! My [landfill blackberries], written specifically to submit to this issue, combines loopy waste poetics (Wastelands @guillemotpress.bsky.social ) with 'aswirlish' minimalism!

What a treat to feature in @aswirl.bsky.social for the first time with a meandering poem that features at the back page! 💙 Aswirl is a tiny quarterly magazine based in Brighton and edited by Robin Boothroyd. It celebrates minimalist and concrete poetry.
