Please stay away from these disgusting sweets - they are as bad as they sound

This is so good. @ellafrears.bsky.social writes horror and satire and pathos and eros and real, real life and hallucinations into each good sentence

Brilliant poem by Raymond Antrobus in an absolute bumper crop, harvested by Niall Campbell for the latest @poetrylondon.bsky.social

One for the theologically inclined from the zippy and wonderful Jack Underwood. From ‘Happiness’ with @faberbooks.bsky.social

Thank you @Carcanet, for a proof copy of ‘Scattered Snows, To The North by the fabulous @cphillipspoet.bsky.social - excited to get into it!

Nuala Watt’s new collection ‘The Department of Work and Pensions Assesses a Jade Fish’ (@DiodeBlue) is genuinely ground-breaking; her righteous anger at the abled world is channeled thru precise wit and barbed language - her poems smash convention with satirical skill. Brilliant!

This is my life for the foreseeable…
