Pleased to announce that Damage Limitation by Rupert Loydell is out now on zimzalla. Damage Limitation is a collage sequence on fanzine style newsprint, exploring power, abuse, music and cultdom, with reference to the music of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV. More at zimzalla.co.uk

Week 8 of documenting everything I buy at the reduced counter this year. This week, beyond the limits of language.

And back, once more, on the prose poems.

Week 7 of documenting everything I buy on the reduced counter this year. Scotch eggs not purchased, merely observed.

All references to ships and the sea in Homer's Odyssey, colour coded, in order of occurrence.

Back, yet again, on the prose poems.

Every word containing all the letters of the word “river” in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain (1876). All direction mentions of rivers highlighted in blue.

I've been working on this Mum & Dad sequence for a while now and found myself revisiting it this week. Sometimes, I think it's poetry, others I think it's prose, always I think I write a lot about rice pudding.

Sixth instalment of my project to document everything I buy from the supermarket reduced counter in 2025.

The fifth instalment of my project documenting everything I buy from the reduced counter in 2025. Vegan smoked salmon too complex a topic to address at this stage.

Out now on zimzalla: Asemics by Grzegorz Wróblewski, a collection of postcards in a white box. If you’re not familiar with the term ‘asemic’, I’d describe it as writing that isn’t writing but feels like it is.

The 4th instalment of my project documenting everything I buy on the reduced counter for a year. This week, a philosophical paradox.

A bumper week on the reduced counter.

Second episode of my project documenting everything I buy at the reduced counter this year.

Back on the prose poems.

In homage to Georges Perec's Attempt at an Inventory of the Liquid and Solid Foodstuffs Ingurgitated by Me in the Course of the Year Nineteen Hundred and Seventy-Four, I'm recording everything I buy at the supermarket reduced counter during 2025. Here is the first instalment.

Eight short books for short days: really nice to see The Philosopher mentioned. www.thebookbeat.com/backroom/202... @sublunary.bsky.social

Thanks, @neonpajamas.bsky.social. Need to get some merch, maybe branded dishcloths.

Throughout 2024, I've been documenting the story of our bin collections. It's been full of drama, conflict and compostable and non-compostable waste. This is the last post. I'm stopping now before I get thrown off the street WhatsApp. Thanks to everyone who has liked, shared, commented and engaged.

More of these wonky 8 liners.
