This is not the post I planned to write today, but clearly the one I needed to write… jpseabright.substack.com/p/mental-hea...

It’s National Poetry Day so one feels obliged to post something ‘poetic’, yet I’ve barely written or published any poetry this year. But I have co-run an ACE-funded project, edited an anthology & championed the work of queer crip poets, shining a spotlight on voices so often marginalised.

A librarian’s pilgrimage to the old British Library Reading Room. One of the advantages of being old is that I got to study in here when I moved to London to do my Masters. 🤓📚

Huge thanks to Max Wallis of Aftershock Review, not only for publishing my effluvium, but for this fabulous editorial reading and comment on it. 💜

of scars visible and invisible. The poem asks how a body can betray itself, how flesh becomes record and trigger, “a mutiny of function / over intent.” It is raw, unflinching, refusing to sanitise what survival costs. @jpseabright.bsky.social

effluvium is a poem of leakage and revolt. Stains blur into one another, sex, blood, mucus; until the body itself becomes hostile, a site of overflow. The speaker moves between bed and self, between past and present, carrying a lifetime of “undreaming,” open.substack.com/pub/aftersho...

Me reading my poem Fulcrum published by @fourteenpoems.bsky.social Effable @jpseabright.bsky.social

Here I argue the Home Secretary's case that Palestine Action is concerned in terrorism is lacking in evidence, and proscribing the group is disproportionate. It will criminalise a significant proportion of civil society and be counterproductive for maintaining safety.

Go see @jpseabright.bsky.social perform! They're very talented! #PoetsOfBlueSky
