poetryschool.com/courses/poet... Join me for an intensive poetry course @poetryschool.bsky.social. 5 sessions (starting 31 Jan 26), exploring trans/multilingual, interdisciplinary approaches to poetry. Writing prompts, in-depth feedback & a close-knit creative community. Zoom, Sat 10–13 BST/GMT

Really enjoyed this conversation with Sheridan Marshall @NewBooksinGerman. We spoke about what drives us at Prototype — why design & form matter as much as content, translation and what it means to make space for hybrid writing. 🔗 Interview here: www.new-books-in-german.com/interview-wi...

The translator’s note is exactly what you need. Eg. ‘The poem as landscape is crucial to Van Dixhoorn: the size of the margins, the choice of font, the colour on the cover […] The poet’s commitment to straight lines. The landscape of the poem informs the form: all is at work to make the poem work.’

Collected Works by F. van Dixhoorn translated by @astridalben.bsky.social from @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social

Video/In-Person — SHORT COURSE: w/ tutors: Astrid Alben (@astridalben.bsky.social‬), Tristram Fane Saunders, Helen Calcutt (@helencalcutt.bsky.social‬), April Yee, Becky Varley-Winter, Kathryn Simmonds.

Through 5 x 3hr intense sessions, my course @poetryschool.bsky.social will have a strong focus on developing your own work and is for poets looking to expand their practice and take their writing to the next level through. More details and how to sign up below 🚀🌻🌻

In a blatant attempt to keep pro-democracy activists behind bars, #HongKong activist #JoshuaWong has been hit with further national security charges. We call for his immediate release and for all those jailed for demanding democracy: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

★★★★★ #ZsuzsannaGahse #MOUNTAINISH - Notes on danger and dialogue in the shadow of the Swiss Alps - 'a striking exploration of the linguistic and emotional complexity of our confrontation with alpine space', says Leila Greening @prototypepubs.bsky.social theartsdesk.com/books/zsuzsa...

We are dismayed by the decision to cancel the exhibition License to Offend - out of fear of offence. Cartoonists do essential work and many of those included in the exhibition are Index contributors. We urge the decision to be reversed: www.thetimes.com/article/1523...
