Poet & @poetrylondon.bsky.social editor Niall Campbell was @robinhoughton.bsky.social & @peter-kenny.bsky.social's guest on the Christmas edition of @planetpoetry.bsky.social. He was reading from and discussing his 3rd collection The Island in the Sound. planetpoetry.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

Genuinely perplexed. It has been hosing it down all September, but according to this #southeastwater page the water level at Ardingley has dropped. Can anyone explain this to me? www.southeastwater.co.uk/about/locati...

It's a wrap for Season 5 . Your pals @robinhoughton.bsky.social and @peter-kenny.bsky.social repair to Beachy Head to celebrate. Happy Summer Holidays everyone! A humongous THANK YOU to all our stellar guests and wonderful listeners over the last five years. www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

Jo Colley (Blueprint Poetry Press) & I are the latest guests on the Planet Poetry Podcast discussing my pamphlet Year of the Rat with hosts @peter-kenny.bsky.social and @robinhoughton.bsky.social It's a great session. My thanks to Robin & Peter for having us on. www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

I'm reading at In-Words in Greenwich next Tuesday with @peter-kenny.bsky.social and Sarah Barnsley, and we'll also be talking about Telltale Press - free entry, do come!

Another book to commend to you; @robinhoughton.bsky.social's debut, 'The Mayday Diaries'. Opening section nails the imposteri-ness, silliness and general WTF that is modern white collar work; rest of the book is stuffed with poems full of vivacity like so. Brava! www.pindroppress.com/books/The%20...

Here's Erica McAlpine discussing her new book 'Small Pointed Things' from @carcanet.bsky.social in our latest episode...with @robinhoughton.bsky.social and @peter-kenny.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

Poems that tremble with tension and beauty, cupping darkness and secret trauma. Richard Scott shares from his new collection 'That Broke into Shining Crystals, from @faberbooks.bsky.social. Hosted by @robinhoughton.bsky.social and @peter-kenny.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

Absolutely wonderful work from Richard Scott -- and a lovely man to interview. I've genuinely have not read a book of poetry for months that struck me so hard with its power and originality as 'That Broke into Shining Crystals'.

In our latest @planetpoetry.bsky.social episode Robin meets Isabelle Baafi with talking about her hotly anticipated collection Chaotic Good from @faberbooks.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

Had great fun chatting to David Crosier on Seahaven FM on his new series Crozier's Creatives. A splendid host who asked great questions. And I got to choose a few of my favourite tunes and read a few poems player.autopod.xyz/868608

Supernatural Tales 58 now released into the wild. Happy to have penned a contribution to the canon of rabbit based horror 🐇

Great to interview @peterdaniels.bsky.social, hear poems from 'Old Men' on the @planetpoetry.bsky.social podcast. We also discuss Leland Bardwell, and Timothy Gallagher a writer of monologues -- plus we report hotfoot from the National Poetry Competition awards. www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

A snap I took of @fionalarkin.bsky.social reading her prize-winning poem last night. A well deserved win I thought!

Seaford, my newish hometown, has its Litfest 25 organised by Seahaven Poets. Lots of poetry events over ten days. I'm looking forward to doing a reading at the Wellington Hotel as guest on their open night on 12th April. Here's a link to the runners and riders... seahavenpoets.co.uk/litfest-2025...

New episode! Ellen Cranitch discusses her @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social collection 'Crystal' and we shoot for the stars with John Donne, Odysseus Elytis and Tomas Transtromer... with your hosts @robinhoughton.bsky.social & @peter-kenny.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

This spring's Supernatural Tales has a story I'm rather pleased with in it about a sinister rabbit. (Rabbits poorly-represented in horror). Poetry cracks the shell of our perception, so we peer out at the world afresh. Good horror does that too, but darkly. suptales.blogspot.com/2025/02/issu...

Loved talking to @ruthpadel.bsky.social about her fabulous collection Girl, and hearing her exquisite poems. From the annunciation to a serpent goddess glimpsed from a London bus. Plus poignant work by Siegfried Baber listen to @planetpoetry.bsky.social here www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...

Big thanks to @hannahl1n.bsky.social whose poet lists I’ve just followed. Looking forward to making many new friends on here.

13 years since Clameur. One of the collaborations I am most proud of is still findable on Spotify. The main piece 'This Concert Will Fall In Love With You' is about a concert that falls in love with its audience. This retains a weird power and Matthew Pollard's music is spellbinding and exquisite.

Hello! Happy to be here and hoping for better vibes. Here's a link to the latest episode of the Planet Poetry podcast, where my partner in crime Robin Houghton interviews Tishani Doshi. www.buzzsprout.com/1414696/epis...
