Rediscovering two old classics in new translations.

Going to post some reviews of my books. Just the negative ones, as they tend to be more insightful and entertaining than flattery.

NaoKo TakaHashi is an interdisciplinary artist based in the UK. She has undertaken commissions and residencies in Quebec, Nottingham, Jerusalem, Sharjah, and elsewhere. Her contributions to publications have been published in London, Germany, and the USA.

Happy publication day to @reversebutcher.bsky.social , whose TORN TEXTURES & HYBRID GLYPHS is out today! Grab this sumptuous paperback mixam.co.uk/print-on-dem... or get the ebook www.steelincisors.com/product/torn...

I didn’t think I’d ever be able to say this, but I’ve completed the draft of my reimagining of Beowulf as a long visual poem. It’s 117 pages long. Now for the checking, correcting and improving!

Ah, not genocide! Just monumental incompetence. How stupid do they think we are?

You do you You do squid-muscle gunk gun You do heavy facelift poetry You do the trick where all the human blemishes are disappeared from the wasteland and all that’s left is a neon reverie You do the thunder in the me You do unannounced shifts in policy resulting in linguistic entropy J. Knight

Today's AC email edition features new work by @bradleyfest.bsky.social, something from the archive by Dana Raja Wahab, updates on Javeria Hasnain, @badbadpoet.bsky.social, @neonpajamas.bsky.social alwayscrashingmagazine.substack.com/p/depart-and...

If you think an imaginary supernatural entity has given you licence to kill and terrorise, you are a dangerous lunatic.

If you’re doing the #sealeychallenge, please don’t drag my books into it. They’re not poetry and I abhor the term

We’ve reached the point where to demand the cessation of murderous violence against children is to be accused of anti-Semitism.

Collaborations are where it’s at

Bodging my way through the tedium… dungeonofdementia.blogspot.com/2025/08/disg...

I’ve got three new poems up at @thearsonista.bsky.social , in @saint-remus.bsky.social’s Art & Annihilation issue. Here’s the first: The First Piss of the Day is the Darkest burninghousepress.com/2025/08/01/j...

The BBC took the political decision not to show this, so Channel 4 did instead. This is an expose of Israel’s war crimes. youtu.be/iv3wpeJ6Oco?...

If Israel’s crimes against humanity don’t make you furious, you are a cold-hearted fucker. I still don’t understand why the rest of the world sits by and allows this to happen. youtu.be/uGbh-Oq1jkM?...

Dear Father, Safe at Present by @divinetailor.bsky.social is out soon. Meanwhile, you can read some of his work in the new issue of @thearsonista.bsky.social here: burninghousepress.com/2025/08/01/j...

Made significant progress with the Beowulf vispo project over the last few days. Suddenly, finishing it seems possible.

7 years ago, Hesterglock Press accepted Void Voices for publication. Here’s a copy I defaced and partially destroyed during a performance.

COSGROVIA by Patrick Cosgrove is out on Saturday!

I strongly recommend having several books of poetry on the go. These are sparking off one another.

Israel plans to build a massive concentration camp in which to inter Palestinians who have survived its murderous military operations. Where are the outraged headlines? Meanwhile, a punk band leads a chant and the British press seethes in righteous fury.

The most fucked-up definition of “self-defence” imaginable. You know what I’m talking about.

Remember, kids, opposing genocide is a no-no. Better to stare at your feet and pretend it isn’t happening.
