QOTD. Why is the show 'Nothing to Declare' about Australian airport border control on the channel Sky Witness, while the almost identical yet geographically different show 'Airport Security USA' is on Sky History? And yes, I am still unemployed, thanks for asking.

#InConversationInCritique with @jamiewoods77.bsky.social What happens when the work is actually read, closely? Alan digs deep into Jamie Woods’ latest, challenging the poems and the person behind them. Interview + Critique by @alanparrywriter.co.uk 🔗 alanparrywriter.co.u...

A lovely review from the depths of Paul's Book Bag. *Blushes*

The Broken Spine has always been about the poets. We’ve run chapbook competitions, Reader’s Choice Awards, and more. Now, we want to give back like never before—but we need your help. Let’s hit £5,000. 🔗 shorturl.at/G2mMo

Been a good two days for post! TBR pile now quite large thanks to @taniahershman.bsky.social @thebraag.bsky.social @prototypepubs.bsky.social @jamiewoods77.bsky.social Bring on the rainy weekend

Love this quote from @alanparrywriter.co.uk : "For Jamie Woods, poetry is never done. It evolves with context, with time, with each reading. Like a song rearranged, the same poem can carry new weight in a new world." alanparrywriter.co.uk/2025/07/12/i... #WritingSky #PoetrySky

If you see this, post a planet youtu.be/WxLBOwdTKjI?...

Love the conversation. Love the critique. Thanks Alan. You're a star.

Cooly eating a callipo for lunch in the shade of my living room, while people are voluntarily going outside in this weather, and yet somehow I'm the one who genuinely can't get life insurance because I'm too "mentally unstable"...

I walked around that duckpond for hours as I tried to get well enough to cope with having chemo again. Not quite as exciting as walking The Salt Path, but there were lots of benches to sit on along the way. And it's a true story...

And if you want to hear @jamiewoods77.bsky.social read his poem 'Wolf Alice & Camper Van Beethoven Live at the Adam Smith Institute', head over to his page on @iambapoet.com. iambapoet.com/wave/14-jamie-woods

Woke up to the @poetrywales.bsky.social weekly email and their "poem for you" was a "poem by me"! It's not in my old book or my new book, but it will be in a book one day. It's about how I really wanted to go and see a Wolf Alice gig in Swansea but was immunocompromised and didn't.

"AN ABSOLUTE RIOT OF A BOOK" In between award ceremonies for her poetry & fiction, and writing a non-fiction book about running, the awesome @natholborow.bsky.social has taken the time to read BLACK SKIES DIE STARLESS and then wrote about it. Buy it now. Punkdust.com and all good bookshops #poetry

If you're already bored of the O*s*s reunion (and they haven't even hit the stage / each other yet), then I have 48 pages of anti90snostalgia poetry with my name on it... punkdustpoetry.sumupstore.com

Accidentally posted something on ThReAdS which was meant for here. it's gone a bit loopy, as things do on that mess of a website and I've been accused of 'calling for gen0cide' by posting Free Palestine. SMH How's your day been?

"Hopeful poetry of a hopeless time"... Thanks Dean Rhetoric for truly getting to the heart of BLACK SKIES DIE STARLESS. It's out tomorrow, all Punk Dust & Jamie's £ to charity. Buy from our website punkdustpoetry.sumupstore.com or ask your fave bookshop #WelshPoetry #GenXPoetry #The90s #poetry

your #nostalgia a lie to hide the ugly nothing was better #vss365 #haiku

*blushes*

People give the BBC a lot of abuse from the left, from the right, and they don't have an easy position being required by the moral majority to be balanced. I disagree with their 'news' opinion of Palestine, but they are showing this on iPlayer.

Thank you @traceyrhys.bsky.social for your kind words. BLACK SKIES DIE STARLESS comes out in 10 days. Pre-order from PunkDust.com or ask your local bookshop. @jamiewoods77.bsky.social is reading at Elysium Swansea on June 26th, more dates tba. #NewPoetry #WelshPoetry #BlackSkiesDieStarless

Looking forward to bringing the noise (poetry) at Elysium Swansea on Thursday 26th June. It's free entry. I'm on at 7.30 followed by an open mic and selling copies of my new book, hopefully. #WelshPoetry #poetry #BlackSkiesDieStarless

My absolute privilege to read this book, let alone endorse it.

Many thanks to @jamiewoods77.bsky.social for taking the time to review my new book. He knows and writes about #bloodcancer too. Thanks too to @leukaemiacare.bsky.social for their amazing booklets. #BloodLines #poetry #AML #ScottishPoetry #newbook #creativewriting #haematology #oncology

Whisper it, but I'm probably as excited to see Adwaith as I am the Manics when they play Swansea. Gonna need to ask my kids for some cymraeg lessons so I can sing along. This is my favourite at the moment. youtu.be/KlKwqAE5lLI?...

❤️‍🔥 ‘Rest in poetry, my friend x’ A special Silver Branch feature on @ivordaniel.bsky.social who passed away recently. Memories of Ivor and a selection of photos and poems by the Gloucestershire poet. ❤️‍🔥 💎 Our poet of the month feature 💎 www.blackboughpoetry.com/ivor-daniel-...

If you are worried that Meta took your writing to train it's AI, know that the list is simply a list of pirated books that would probably have been available. If you're on it, it doesn't mean they used your work ("knowing which parts of LibGen used... is impossible"). It's still shit, obviously.

Crocuses yawn, sparrows nest, daffodils trumpet the sun. Spring has returned. With her, she brings a basket of 45 poems – some delicate, some fierce, all of them rich in colour. Sit where you're comfortable, and reach in, to wave twenty-one of @iambapoet.com. #newpoetry iambapoet.com/wave/21

This is a really exciting challenge to get you writing poetry. I loved the years that I did it, but I'm not sure I have the energy this year. Will be watching the results eagerly though. Give it a go!

Happy #WorldBookDay to all who celebrate but especially to Bethany Handley and her new poetry pamphlet Cling Film which is a brilliant and vivid insight into ableism and becoming a wheelchair user. Beth is 'One to Watch' right now - get it from Seren Books. #disablitypoetry #welshpoetry

Lovely evening at Swansea's Elysium watching Mab Jones reading from her new book Bog Witch - a book steeped in magic and mud.

Serpent and Stone, coming 2026 with Broken Sleep Books ❤️📚🐍

I'm one of the #Welsh Disabled and d/Deaf writers featured in a new anthology, 'Beyond / Tu Hwnt' from #LucentDreaming later this month. Preorder from the publishers, or any good bookshop. My #poem is about a car park in Broadhaven, accessibility and blue badges. lucentdreaming.com/product/beyo...

Cried reading this. Beautiful and elegant, everyday and interstellar. Well done @natholborow.bsky.social truly your best yet x

This is tonight, #poetry friends, and will be a wonderful evening of mulled rhyme and imagist wine.

Oh wow. Just listened to Patrick Jones' new album 'Constellation of Sorrows'. Intensely beautiful, vital, important. Made me cry. An amazing #poet. #FreePalestine patrickjones3.bandcamp.com/album/a-cons...

Really enjoying Richard Gwyn's new substack on the creative process - he was my supervisor at Cardiff and I'm a big fan still. Each week he'd take us on a dreamlike journey through myth, the mind, and fiction from Greece, South America, Hell and beyond. Subscribe? open.substack.com/pub/richardg...

Thought I'd join in with the new local trend of standing in the street and staring at your own roof. Found out we had a chimney. #winning

#NowListening to "2468" by Horsegirl Starts like Camper Van Beethoven, changes time signature, and ends somewhere between Clinic and Stereolab. Two lines of vocals captures the stumbling awkwardness of childhood. The video is perfect too. youtu.be/YF1odzEHAAY @matadorrecords.bsky.social
