Another fabulous read from fly on the wall press. Kept my interest and not a slow burn at all 🔥

Devouring the latest issue of @bansheepress.bsky.social
Fork and a knife on a serviette on the left of a literary journal. There is an empty mug and a glass above the previously mentioned items. All of these items are on a light wood table. The cover of the journal says Banshee a literary journal 10 euros issue 19 spring/summer 2025. On the cover is a photo of a night scene of a town road with a manhole cover. In the background are a few businesses. A shop sign says Joe’s pizza. There are a few people milling around and a streak of cars and lights. Cover image by Matteo Modica

A year ago today my baby Rowan died (3 yrs old). The hardest. I miss you all the time. You were bright and so curious. Loved cars so much I worried you might grow up to be a boy racer. I love you so much ♥️ ♥️
toddler, Rowan, in a white laundry basket. The child is smiling and looking at the camera. He’s wearing a dark blue top with pink graphics. He’s wearing grey and pink trousers and no shoes or socks on his feet. His head is on some blankets and there’s an orange and yellow car next to him. He would have been blowing raspberries

A beer and a poetry collection, what more do you want? Such a fab book by @stevenespadaw.bsky.social It blew me away! All the fabs! Loads about family, grief, and living. Lots to identify with. No one cares if you cry in a pub
Book of poetry on a wooden table. A glass of beer on the left side. An empty glass of water in above the book in the middle. Menus on the right. The cover of the book shows a cartoonish person in side profile with lots of different coloured shapes (red, orange, yellow, green) on his face. There’s a cigarette hanging out of their mouth. In the background some buildings and blue. The title of the book is Late to the Search Party written by Steven Espada Dawson
