Look what arrived today! I’m already loving it! @gilloshaughnessy.bsky.social

I love collaborative work and seeing what people do with existing work to deepen it, move it into new places. It's especially thrilling when someone takes one of your poems to do that miraculous re-creation with. Check our @kathrynreese.bsky.social and @pleomorphic2.bsky.social's collaborative poem

@hannahl1n.bsky.social is a UK poet, her work is all sorts of amazing. Def check her poems out. It was such an incredible thing to write into her “Gaps” with @pleomorphic2.bsky.social & make a new thing.

“A turbo charged Freud..written at white heat’ Thank you Freo Herald! SALT CITY RUNAWAY IS OUT TODAY!!!

I’ve been up at my mum’s place, reconnecting. People. Place. Writing a bit, hanging with my sister’s kids. Going back today. Might read new poems at an open mic. Might sub some. Might go see a girl in Melbourne, soon as. Might cry some. Can’t live without this place I can’t live.

Fab review of a very wonderful lit mag.

“Its always this: the gathering, the dissipation, the taking apart of sunlight to/show all the colours it might hold.” @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @neologismpoetry.bsky.social with this 🔥🔥🔥 www.neologismpoetry.com/April-2026/

I was at the first Werd Nerdz session and it was -everything- I needed. Can’t wait for this one!

Such an honour to have a new piece out today in Centaur Lit alongside an incredible rostrum of writers. I rarely write about my illness but this brought me a lot of catharsis. It's a kind of fiction / CNF / prose poem mash-up - hope you'll give it a read: centaurlit.com/the-man-with...

Want to play a round of guess the source? Are these notes from a poetry workshop or a counselling degree? (Stupid degree is the reason I’m hanging here way less 😵‍💫 Bring on end of semester…)

“Your hand, a zebra against the setting sun and the venetians, stampeding as always.” @pleomorphic2.bsky.social in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social gooseberry-pie.com/game-night/

“I/must guard you with my life—as if/ I, collector of frog calls and memory/ have ever kept anything safe.” This perfect poem by @kathrynreese.bsky.social in Stirring Lit 🧡🧡🧡

Do we pretend we don’t have favourite poems we’ve written or do I just say here’s one of mine, in Stirring 💚 www.stirringlit.com/vol-28-ed-2-... (This status is more related to the circumstances of the writing than any objective quality. This one written in a favourite place & for someone I love)

It was so cool to collaborate with @kristinwrites.bsky.social on this one! Reading & writing for lit mags starts out as a solo thing and next minute you have a strange sort of community that includes people you may never meet irl. It’s one of the best things.

It’s been a long time between subs and my computer is being rude about it.

My poem Post Vespers has been shortlisted for the Blake Prize 😱 I thoroughly recommend checking out all 8 shortlisted poems here: www.westwords.com.au/the-69th-bla... There are recorded readings as well as print. Thanks to @templeinacity.bsky.social for first publishing Post Vespers.

I’m reading this essay this morning…taking it nice and slow, living with each couple of paragraphs for a bit before moving on to the next (which is my favourite way to read). It’s so good! Also really relevant to poetry first lines…

“he can still hear the taunting echo of the unremitting tide, the jeering of gulls, the scuttling of crabs.” I felt every word of this story. @mattkendrick.bsky.social in @nervetowrite.bsky.social www.nervetowrite.com/post/little-...

Flight 4 launches on Sunday! Prepare your hearts and minds by reading these amazing pieces from Flight 3:

I was lucky enough to get to read this before it was published. I’d forgotten how wonderful & powerful it was, til I read it again just now. Just wow, @pleomorphic2.bsky.social 💚

“You're not in a fairy tale, you're not a four-poster bed adorned with silk sheets, soft pillows, and those little plastic torches that look like candles. But …” @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @claudineliterary.bsky.social www.claudineliterary.com/kathrynreese

New CNF by @kathrynreese.bsky.social!! “and you have a heart on your leg, engraved with a compass, the sharp edge of boredom, of having to ‘sit here til the job’s done.’” www.claudineliterary.com/kathrynreese

I want to ask her where I am going to wear that, but—sigh—I don’t ask what life I live in her head.” @mspicone.bsky.social bringing the stuff of my nightmares!

“My holy book said I should be transparent, clear, and free of attachment. Here I am: mud child, river monster, burning” @kathrynreese.bsky.social with this stunner in WTR - sensual, such imagery. It’s just gorgeous 🌊🧡🧡🧡

“What would I know of bones? Mine exchanged every night for incense/gold leaf/fur.” @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @pitheadchapel.bsky.social (no less) with this mothering stunner 🧡🧡🧡 pitheadchapel.com/birthright-b...

Very excited to have a piece about my kitchen table in today’s issue of @claudineliterary.bsky.social !

So the 4th piece out this last ten days is a poem 😳! I wrote about snail shells and cleopatra and men, but mostly I wrote about benga daughter then being a mum. Thanks West Trestle Review for publishing it!

@bts-adams.bsky.social @pamthepoet.bsky.social @kathrynreese.bsky.social @thebrokenspine.co.uk underscore_Magazine Issue 6 - for today's weather. Crack the whip - this Mag is alive. Loved Sumayya and Zoe especially. The list is 'on the money'. Erica E-i-C 💓 www.underscoremag.com/issues/issue-6

I have a poem in West Trestle Review. “What I might know if I let myself” is a golden shovel after a @pleomorphic2.bsky.social flash. My poem is about queer identity, falling in love and finding yourself loved. I hope you’ll give it a read. www.westtrestlereview.com/spring_2026_...

Wires The walls are lined with wine glasses, fork bundles with string, knives and spoons are drying in the dish rack. Everything is covered in a thin layer of frost, window at the very end of the apartment having remained open late into the night, likely won't close until Mafalda has gotten all…

It’s hard to get embodiment and enchantment in just the right mix… This chapbook does it.

In an unexpected turn of events, I’ve been hearing a lot about werewolves this week. This piece makes my skin tingle for fur.
