I realise that this is, undoubtedly, the worst time of the year to hold a launch. Everybody I know is away on holidays, for example. Hoping to hold an in person launch when @poetryireland.bsky.social reopens its doors later in the year.

Happy New Year! I think we can all agree

In the world for real—get it here: www.unmpress.com/978082636879...

Merry Christmas! Wishing everyone rest and renewal.

it’s St Lucy’s day, so you know what that means — time for the best John Donne poem

Chuffed for all the people who are posting saying they outsold Nuzzi but even Nuzzi numbers are all but unimaginable for small press poetry, buy my and Harry's new book, help us dream: veer2.org/Kit-Fryatt-H...

A must-have! Dulcibella agrees. First print run (which admittedly was not on the scale of, like, Byron's Don Juan) is nearly sold out, get your copy here: veer2.org/Kit-Fryatt-H...

Dr Kit Fryatt introduces the award winning novel Henry Henry by Allen Bratton at tonight's @dublincityuni.bsky.social Book Club in Cregan Library

This is tomorrow, for anyone interested.

So delighted to finally have a copy of Ellen Dillon’s _Butter Intervention_ in my hands. 🧈 ☘️

Absurdly, this also went live yesterday, the result of me and the brilliant @drnollid.bsky.social trudging through the fog on Ardmore clifftop spitepress.co.uk/product/all-... but just the pre-order this time: out in spring 2026

veer2.org/Kit-Fryatt-H... It's here at last, after 3 years (or 15, depending on how you're counting). Profound gratitude to all at Veer2, especially Rob Kiely, to Leda Scully for the cover artwork, and profoundest thanks of all to Harry Gilonis, my indefatigably scholarly and gentlemanly co-author

Truly shocked, but so happy to be able to share the honour with my agent, Martha, my editor, Brandon, and everyone at Unnamed Press and Jonathan Cape -- and my husband & constant collaborator, Kit, who's been helping me to create this world and these characters from the very beginning.

Welcome to the Black British Folk Revival. Guest curator Angeline Morrison and friends take over Cecil Sharp House with folk sounds, songs, and stories that shine a long overdue light on the African Diaspora's love for, and ongoing conversations with, British folk. Sat 4 Oct bit.ly/4f02wBB

I wrote about Eugen Gomringer, Europe's first concrete poet, who died last week aged 100 someflowerssoon.substack.com/p/pinks-35-e...
