📊 I'm grateful to Guillermo for including my piece "Scheduling Yeats' Waterfall" in the latest Exacting Clam (Winter 2025) 🩻 @guillermostitch.bsky.social @exactingclam.bsky.social @saggingmeniscus.bsky.social

A full house at last night's gathering of five authors published by @saggingmeniscus.bsky.social A marvellous evening. More pictures to follow.

TONIGHT.

LONDONERS: this Thursday, Sagging Meniscus sails to @poetrysociety.org.uk with the able crew of @davidcollard.bsky.social, Melissa McCarthy, Rufo Quintavalle, @julianstannardpoet.bsky.social, & Philip Terry — plus a SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE by @jgoldsmith.bsky.social. It's free. RSVP bit.ly/3Jl0JLN

In which our author declares his forthcoming novel "a failure" (did he clear that with our publicist?) but that (luckily) so is "all art". In that case, long live failure!

Put down your Sunday chores; here is a great distraction 🎡

This is an intriguing teaser campaign in the run-up to the publication of the novel in June 2026: a series of acclaimed authors each reading a passage from 'The Coast of Everything' by Guillermo Stitch. Has this ever been done before?

Read both books, is what we're saying.

Thanks to @cdrose.bsky.social  (author of WE LIVE HERE NOW from @melvillehouse.bsky.social , winner of the @goldsmithsprize.bsky.social )  for this reading from @guillermostitch.bsky.social 's THE COAST OF EVERYTHING:

Coming soon: the DADA issue!

I have a little bit of @leeupton.bsky.social hanging around my house, in this collaboration she did with the late, great artist Ed Kerns. One of my favorite pieces of art.

Huge congratulations to @cdrose.bsky.social and so emphatically deserved! Read this book.

We are delighted to announce that the winner of the Goldsmiths Prize 2025 is C.D. Rose's We Live Here Now! 🎉🎉 Congratulations Chris! 👏👏

Lee Upton on writing WRONGFUL: "while writing, like our readers we too have to develop an advanced tolerance for getting things wrong." https://bigindiebooks.com/2025/11/06/the-art-of-being-wrong-on-writing-a-literary-mystery/

Lake of Urine was one of the most important (and funniest) (and most important) (and funniest) books of the last decade. I am very excited for The Coast of Everything. #booksky

In the Sundress Blog, Tassneem Abdulwahab calls Kat Meads' WHILE VISITING BABETTE "a surreal magnifying glass.... enchanting ... feeding the reader just enough input to be tantalizing, a delicate balance in the space between repetitive and perplexing". https://bit.ly/3JFXgrv

Kurt Luchs' TRIBUTARIES in Kirkus Reviews: "A refreshing self-awareness grounds the work....A generous, witty guide for readers and writers alike that opens personal pathways to great poets."
