Icarus Magazine 75th Anniversary Edition (Vol LXXV | Issue III) yesbutisitpoetry.blogspot.com/2025/09/icar...

Have some new work in the recently published landmark 75th anniversary edition of Icarus magazine (Trinity College Dublin), in the ‘featured writers’ section, taken from a book length work in progress - and a brand new bio (all true more or less). Thanks to eds Cat & Louise for the invitation.

Very sad news. Ruth was a huge supporter of my work, and of many leftfield writers & artists connected with the Eastern Mediterranean. She sponsored one of the very few readings I gave in Nicosia, at Maria Toumazou’s gallery space in 2017. I will miss our chats. cyprus-mail.com/2025/08/07/r...

For the avoidance of doubt, this won’t be a workshop on how to make poems using AI, but a practical-critical thinking through of the implications of the advent of AI for poets and poetry, without succumbing to either blind optimism or sheer panic. Book through the link👇
