Looking forward to reading at Poetry in Aldeburgh next Friday with fellow #ignitionpress poets Clementine Burnley & Alicia Pirmohamed! Tix at bit.ly/ignitioninaldeburgh.

Dear all, I’m desperately seeking a course I can do on the lyric essay. I don’t mind if it’s in-person or online, but I need something I can do (UK time zone) in the evening or during the day on weekends. Any recommendations or leads? Please comment below. Thank you! xxx

Such a breathtaking opening poem in this pamphlet by @eveellis14.bsky.social @ignitionpress.bsky.social

My copy of my pamphlet SPIT VALVE arrived in the post! It took me an obscenely long time to make this little thing. Goodness knows you have more important things to do, but I will be so honored if you read it.

What’s more exciting to me as an editor than under 30 debut lists? A poet who returns with something exquisite after a decade of silence. Books that take years to discover their shape, not more-of-the-same sequels to best sellers. Poets who reinvent themselves because life has reinvented them.

Good morning! My pamphlet SPIT VALVE is now available for purchase from my very wonderful publisher, ignitionpress: shop.brookes.ac.uk/product-cata...

If you're in London, come to the launch on 3 April @burleyfisher.bsky.social!

Excited to be reading with the brilliant @shevchenkoknight.bsky.social!

“War is the time to save the smallest insect and each other.”

I don’t have the words to describe Victoria Amelina’s unfinished book, but it has shaken me.

Launching my #ignitionpress pamphlet at the @poetrysociety.bsky.social cafe next month alongside these excellent new pamphlets by Ian Farnes & Patrick Romero McCaffert. Come along?

I feel this. Lovely interview with @timothyfox.bsky.social, whose pamphlet will be out soon.

The opening poem from Nicola Healy’s Michael Marks-winning pamphlet, A Newer Wildness. I can’t stop thinking about this work— the dignity & originality Healy brings to the subject of anorexia. I’m all admiration.

Please share and share again - the demise of twitter definitely stops us getting the word out more. The second #curae literary prize - a special literary award for unpaid carers - has just opened for a second time. thecuraeprize.uk You’ve got until 1/03 to enter!

Please consider helping out @thebookishtype.bsky.social after this horrible robbery by buying some of your festive gifts from them. They are a really lovely queer bookshop in Leeds (with a banging poetry selection too) and you can buy online: thebookishtype.co.uk/collections/...
