Genuinely perplexed. It has been hosing it down all September, but according to this #southeastwater page the water level at Ardingley has dropped. Can anyone explain this to me? www.southeastwater.co.uk/about/locati...

Another book to commend to you; @robinhoughton.bsky.social's debut, 'The Mayday Diaries'. Opening section nails the imposteri-ness, silliness and general WTF that is modern white collar work; rest of the book is stuffed with poems full of vivacity like so.

Absolutely wonderful work from Richard Scott -- and a lovely man to interview. I've genuinely have not read a book of poetry for months that struck me so hard with its power and originality as 'That Broke into Shining Crystals'.

This spring's Supernatural Tales has a story I'm rather pleased with in it about a sinister rabbit. (Rabbits poorly-represented in horror). Poetry cracks the shell of our perception, so we peer out at the world afresh. Good horror does that too, but darkly.

13 years since Clameur. One of the collaborations I am most proud of is still findable on Spotify. The main piece 'This Concert Will Fall In Love With You' is about a concert that falls in love with its audience. This retains a weird power and Matthew Pollard's music is spellbinding and exquisite.
