Leaflet: Come to this community assembly for all residents to discuss the issues that are important to us, and decide if we can support a Community Candidate to represent us. All the main parties have failed us in government, so who can we vote for in the upcoming by-election for East Sussex County Council?

Hastings People's Party activists are working with others to see if there is an appetite to stand a community-based candidate for the only local election we're likely to see until 2027 (given 're-organisation' in our area, aka 'closing down local democracy'). Oct 16th 7pm @ The Hastings Centre

I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge—even wisdom. Like art.”
​
- Toni Morrison

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work—not when everything is fine, but in times of dread. That’s our job!
​
There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.

i knew my poem 'The Exhibit' has been published in Santa Fe Literary Review, but it was still a surprise that two copies came in the post. A real treat. Thank you @santafereview.bsky.social ! www.sfcc.edu/santa-fe-lit...

The Stupidest Speech in UN History! “Everyone’s saying so,” writes @billmckibben.bsky.social

“the shots of delegates looking on in disbelief as Trump vented about broken escalators, MAGA hats, & his general greatness for nearly an hour (ignoring the 15min time limit…)”

Global embarrassment. Joke.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

After Steven Miller's speech there is no longer any question the GOP is a Nazi-Party, he voiced Joseph Goebbles rhetorics like it is Nuremberg 1938 applauded by the Republican Elite and their Congress.

This is not America, it's Anti-America, Anti-Progress and Anti-Humanity.

Because that then means it won't be accepted by any publication.

There's no point me putting it up on here or on other social media. So where? DM if you want to read it. Otherwise, it is interesting, isn't it? The way the poetry world works puts a brake on responding to events until it's too late....

It isn't factional or biassed, it doesn't make allegations, it does try to face reality directly and speak to it from the poetic heart of the combined religious Abrahamic religions, the Psalms, respected and loved by Jews, Christians, Muslims and many others including writers of no faiths.

dear hive mind, the #poetry #WritingCommunity #writers #writing #poems #poetry #PoetryCommunity #PoetrySky #readapoem #BookSky #aloadofpoets #poemsabout #PoetTown #HastingsPoets bit of the hive mind. I have a poem 'A Psalm to Gaza' that seems impossible to get published.

Or, perhaps, a couple of poems that end in a parenthesis

From the Irish Times - a couple of poems about how to write poems

It's the defining difference between the left and the right, I think. The right will do everything possible to avoid poverty, including hating 'the other', violence, and whatever. The left do their very best to help those in poverty, with the ultimate aim being to ensure there was no poverty.

Get you! Excellent news. Congratulations
