Two great poetry open mics heading your way, folks. One from @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social on March 12th, the other from @brokenspinearts.bsky.social on April 3rd. You'll find them both on Eventbrite. I'm planning to go along to each of them – albeit to listen this time, rather than take up space.

Submissions are open until March 14th! Have a really good read of the theme and send us your poetry. We look forward to reading it!

And here they are, congrats to Emily and Bethany on their collection and pamphlet launches ‘Significant Wow’ and ‘Cling film’. Great to hear from Clare reading from ‘Healing the Pack’ @serenbooks.bsky.social @vervepoetrypress.bsky.social

Lovely golden shovel poem by Leusa Lloyd for a cold winter day.

PREORDER (30.04.25 @hazardpressuk.bsky.social): Jeremy Dixon’s Bold in the Life is an electrifying affirmation of Polari, the coded language once palavered through queer spaces, now reanimated in poetry that is unapologetic, irreverent, & deeply celebratory www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

This is a great listen. And I completely agree, I like space to inhabit ❤️

Grateful @BrokenSpineArts.bsky.social is including my poem ‘3 AM’ in Glow: City at Night.
