The N.B. column in the latest TLS @thetls.bsky.social rightly wondering about the baffling decision of the current administration of Conway Hall to not allow the Small Publishers Fair to take place at the venue, after twenty-three very successful years... no comment or reason is forthcoming.

Wonderful to see the outpouring of love and respect for @catherineredford.bsky.social at the Zoom launch of 'The Way the Water Held Me'. I was so moved by the tenderness and humanity of these poems, the imaginative yet deeply authentic articulation of bereavement. theemmapress.com/shop/poetry/...

Today: "In my ‘Wastelines’, deleted lines...edits from my notebook not only resurface to interfere w/ the published version of the text, but (like the dangerously active waste in landfill) start to form new compounds, new possible poems." @susiecampbell.bsky.social icefloepress.net/2026/01/12/i...

These 'Twixt' days can be a good opportunity to catch up with some reading. I’ve got a stack of poetry books put by! If you fancy a read about poetry fieldwork, you might want to grab a cuppa and settle down with this journal post @guillemotpress.bsky.social www.guillemotpress.co.uk/journal/2025...

Following a spring clean at Longbarrow HQ, I've found a number of hardbacks (ex-bookshop / damaged in transit) that are perfectly readable, but not saleable. If you're in Sheffield (postcodes S1-S12 only), and you'd like a free book, message your postal address and I'll deliver it over the weekend.

Things that are bringing me joy this year number 18. The fact that there's a wonderful new lit mag in town specifically for Disabled, Chronically Ill, and Neurodivergent Writers. @nervetowrite.bsky.social is run by the brilliant @sfmontgomery.bsky.social. Excited to appear in the first issue.

A winter treat from @longbarrowpress.bsky.social

I am desperately worried for 20 yr old Qesser Zuhrah who is dangerously ill at HMP Bronzefield. It remains very unclear how soon she will be transferred to hospital. Qesser is on day 46 of hunger strike. It should not take this long to get the help she needs. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
