Please join us on 12th April 2026 at 6.30 pm BST, online, for a very special event in the We Keep Telling series, the launch of "Rain Was Once A Promise" by Lama Alharazin, published by @zinesfromgaza in March 2026. buytickets.at/sdhepress/21...

Despite the rain, the chill, winter's reluctance to cede his throne, spring arrives with daffodils, birdsong, the lengthening of days. Welcoming it are the 15 poets of wave twenty-five of @iamb.uk. Expect 45 poems, written and read – fresh as the incoming season. iamb.uk/index/wave/25

Meeting up with poetry friends is the best. Thanks to @sophiaargyris.bsky.social for organising such a brilliant evening of words & music last Thurs in Oxford. May have bought some books. @corinnaboard.bsky.social also ☺️

Enjoying time with @corinnaboard.bsky.social ‘s pamphlet this morning. My favourite at the moment is A dunnock’s prayer- which I had previously enjoyed in Carmen et Error and was Commended in the Forward prize. Recommend !

‘Mædwe’, the new pamphlet from @corinnaboard.bsky.social, breathes shimmering new life into the familiar sights and sounds of the meadow. I particularly loved the skilled and sensitive use of form in this gorgeous little collection. Highly recommended! @salopress.bsky.social
