"This spirited, astonishing, bewildering collection is one of the best long poems I have read, transformatory, guilt-making, tough in surmise and Gothic splendours of the imagination..." Adam Piette reviews 'Eely' by Steve Ely: blackboxmanifold.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/adampiettebm33

I love all my gorgeous volumes of poetry from Longbarrow but The Blue Hour is possibly my favourite. Angelina D'Roza's words are sublime.

I wrote Cazique in the voice of a conman. Long after @longbarrowpress.bsky.social published it, I still had his voice in my head. The voice grew into voices. Now I hear those voices in rolling news. In parliament. In advertising. In briefings. I live in Conopolis. matthewcleggcazique.wordpress.com

I love these poems, not least because I had long been fascinated and appalled by the Poyais scheme that inspired them. The ghosts of Gregor MacGregor are indeed all around us now.

I am just gonna keep putting this in the ether from my antidisciplinary humanist POV: with the way things are going, we are going to need more autonomous research networks that create spaces of possibility that are no longer possible––if they were ever even possible––in traditional institutions.

"I grew up working class. I don't have an industry background or institutional connections. I felt, and still feel, that Longbarrow Press should make its own space. I felt, and still feel, that publishing is both an end in itself (i.e. has intrinsic value) and the start of a conversation."
