Unpublished late poems by Charles Tomlinson, marking ten years since his death. These have been transcribed from Charles’s notebooks by his daughters, Juliet and Justine, and published by Dare-Gale Press. This little book is a poignant jewel.

October 12th from A Walk in Winter (Enitharmon Press, 1989).
My father and his father both died on this date, 35 years apart.
We all have our own ‘October 12ths’. Call it by any other date, it’s the same. Dates - like places - can grow from being ordinary to extraordinary in an instant.

John Lucas has passed away. No words to express feelings at this time. I, as many other writers and poets, owe him an immense debt as a publisher, a critic & friend. On a card I had from him only a week ago he’d written: ‘We shall meet for a drink again.’ I look forward to that John.

Whether spoken aloud or read silently to the self, Chris McCabe’s new collection from @ninearchespress.bsky.social is a richly sonic experience from cover to cover. The whole thing is a journey made up of stepping stones that ring as you touch them.

Very nice to have ‘Donegal’ present as part of this handsome new anthology of the Shipping Forecast, and to be an adjacent neighbour of Zaffar Kunial within it.
