My little poetry press is alive. We’re currently open for pamphlet submissions from UK poets until the end of July, with the aim of bringing these beauties into readers’ hands by Christmas. Find out more below: www.pallinapress.com

Always a honour to be included here by Mr Bonta, and always something to be learned from reading it.

Congrats to the 15 poets of wave twenty-six: Alex Smith, Anna Maughan, Caroline Stancer, Clare Best, Deborah Gaudin, Elizabeth Osmond, Frances Klein, Francesca Leader, Jonathon Medeiros, Kate Vanhinsbergh, Lauren Parker, Rachel Burrows, Robin Ince, Victoria Moul and Zain Rishi.

Friday! Lunchtime! I know you want to be out there drinking in the sunshine (take that whichever way you prefer), but why not spend the last few hours before THE FIRST BIG WEEKEND OF THE SUMMER by reading my words and clicking the (vastly superior) links.

TERRAHAWKS (1983) villain Zelda, and her children Cy-Star and Yung-Star, were three of the decade's most terrifying bad guys. And she could spit bars with the best of 'em. Move over Nas, Rakim, and KRS-One, here comes the Zelda rap!
