In Conversation Jamie Woods doesn’t write poetry for your comfort. He writes because he must—because the words arrive heavy, vital, unfinished until spoken aloud. “I’ve always written: lyrics, reviews, short stories, opening chapters to novels, and poems,” he says.

A lovely review from the depths of Paul's Book Bag. *Blushes*
This week in The Book Bag, take a trip down memory lane to the 90's with a different perspective in Black Skies Die Starless, feel moved by the emotional authenticity. A tremendous book by Jamie Woods, published by Punk Dust Poetry. Plus all the other regular news...
The Book Bag: Black Skies Die Starless by Jamie Woods
Welcome back to The Book Bag. I hope you’ve had a poetic week. I’ve had a slower week this week. Shared a video of me reading one of my poems on social media, visited the Northern Poetry Library on Monday, sent some submissions off and spent some time on my my own writing. On Saturday evening I was able to see some incredible poetry at Louis Longson’s last Saturday of the month poetry readings. Also I went out for lunch with my team from work to a great Asian place. …

Cooly eating a callipo for lunch in the shade of my living room, while people are voluntarily going outside in this weather, and yet somehow I'm the one who genuinely can't get life insurance because I'm too "mentally unstable"...

I walked around that duckpond for hours as I tried to get well enough to cope with having chemo again. Not quite as exciting as walking The Salt Path, but there were lots of benches to sit on along the way. And it's a true story...

Woke up to the @poetrywales.bsky.social weekly email and their "poem for you" was a "poem by me"!
It's not in my old book or my new book, but it will be in a book one day.
It's about how I really wanted to go and see a Wolf Alice gig in Swansea but was immunocompromised and didn't.
