If you’re in London on 25 June and want to experience some contemporary Austrian poetry, some of it accompanied by the antics of the Bird King, this is the event for you: www.europeanpoetryfestival.com/austria26

Remember, kids: if you tell the truth about the history of the Middle East or what is currently happening in Gaza and the West Bank, you are a despicable anti-Semite.

Remember, kids: opposing the genocide in Gaza constitutes a hate crime!

We've just made our first donation to Kids Saving the Rainforest from sales of Hit Escape by Michelle Kent. Michelle's Colossive Cartography is a little holiday you can carry in your pocket. Grab the #zine for £2 at bit.ly/colossive68 - all royalties go to this wonderful Costa Rican wildlife rescue

Publishers take note: highfalutin, hyperbolic blurbs are no substitute for excerpts, and often put me off buying.

Western complicity in the Gaza genocide goes deep. We need more reporting like this, from the excellent @doubledown.news youtu.be/e0qh1kkEAaM?...
