I’ve struggled with “finding my voice” in poetry, because I keep looking to adopt someone else’s. I wrote an essay about the problem in the new issue of Cable Street. cablestreet.org/issue-11-tab...

Some fine new poems by @joniemcintire.bsky.social in the new Cable Street—these poems are so real! cablestreet.org/issue-11-tab...

Thank you - not my connection as it happens, but that of a very good friend. A wonderful coincidence, nevertheless. And your magazine has a wonderfully resonant name, redolent of courage and resistance to fascism. I am delighted to be associated with those values

Our contributor, @thepaulconnolly.bsky.social , shared his family connection to the Battle of Cable Street in London, where the antifascists fought the British Union of Fascists. Our logo is a scene from a mural commemorating the skirmishes. Thanks Paul for sharing this history.👇👇👇

The new issue of Cable Street dropped last night and we are so proud of it! Great work by @thepaulconnolly.bsky.social • @hardygriffin.bsky.social • @janschmidtwriter.bsky.social • @joniemcintire.bsky.social and many more. #poetry #fiction #creativenonfiction 💙📚 cablestreet.org

Many thanks to @danadelibovi.bsky.social for her tender & thoughtful review of Unrivered @cablestreet-litmag.bsky.social "The poet does not dissemble. She writes as a mature person, and unabashedly so. To me, this is a strength of the work." cablestreet.org/issue-11-tab...

Love this book @djvorreyer.bsky.social ❤️

Paul’s work will be part of Cable Street’s April issue and we are pumped up about it! 💙📚

Carrer de Bisbe, Barcelona (2026) A rare moment without passers-by

El próximo lunes presento el primero de los cinco "Breviarios" ( @galaxiagutenberg.bsky.social ) que va a publicar Chantal Maillard. Es una temeridad por mi parte presentarla, ya lo sé, pero no se me ocurrió otra forma de asegurarme un asiento entre el público.

Peruvian author @marcoavilesh.bsky.social writes about his experiences as an immigrant in the U.S. and as an indigenous person growing up in Peru. “I Am Not Your Cholo" (tr. Sophie Hughes) is from our 2017 issue “Within (and Without) These Borders”: wordswithoutborders.org/read/article...

We didn’t know this poem—and we are crazy in love with it!

"Might we link the project of translation—the longing to recreate a text from a dead language—to the condition of melancholy?" asks Jhumpa Lahiri.

You are right!

Greetings from sunny York. Here for my sold-out event this evening at York Literature Festival.

The poet Sally Read recited my translation of a poem by St. Teresa of Ávila in an interview last week. The poem riffs on Teresa's vision—being speared by an angel—captured by Bernini. "He pierced me with an arrow smeared with the poison of love, and my soul succumbed to be one with its Creator."

"Against Ornament. Against Object." This is in Seoul. Gorgeous. The title is brilliant, like the title of a metaphysical English poem from the 17th century. gallerybaton.com/exhibitions/...

This is fascinating. lithub.com/how-americas...

This is such a good piece of fiction in English—AND a great German translation. The author, Eric Darton, says he likes the German version better than his original. #fiction #translation #German cablestreet.org/issue-10-tab...

I have only one Chita Rivera story, and this is it:

"Strawberry Thief" by William Morris, was created in 1883. The design was first printed that year and registered on March 12, 1883.

Wuthering Heights? Jane Eyre? Like 19th C male authors, Emily kills off a female lead, Charlotte sticks an ‘inconvenient’ woman in the attic. But decades before Middlemarch, in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Anne slays an inconvenient man to give a woman her right to fulfilment. Radical. Transgressive
