Couldn’t tell you what happened in the new superman film. I spent 2 hrs marvelling at how absurdly supple Nicholas Hoult’s skin is. Incredible. Not a wrinkle on the man.

A handwritten poem titled 'We turned a corner' on a textured background. The lines evoke intimacy and sensory details—tequila soda, paracetamol, leather yew leaves—with themes of memory and desire. Signature: Emily A. Taylor ©

Don’t do a poetry reading, mention that the following poems are for your recently passed father (for context), and not expect everyone to come up after and offer their condolences. Very stupidly I did not see that coming
It’s 2025 why am I still getting cold calls

Just write words. They don't have to be good. In fact, the less you feel about them the better off you will be. Preserve yourself. You're going to be doing this for the rest of your life.
If you’ve not read it already, Men Who Hate Women (Laura Bates) would be a great place to start research for this!
Buzzing for @brettvt.bsky.social one of our hilarious and exceedingly lovely stanza members for his NPC long listed poem, which he brought to stanza! Feel v filled with much love today for our little stanza group and all our talented poets ❤️
(5/5) Congratulations to the National Poetry Competition longlist!

Everyone on the longlist wrote a poem that stood out to the judges, Romalyn Ante, Stephen Sexton and John McAuliffe, out of over 21,000 other works. Well done to all of our longlisted poets!

I think if someone invented the sestina today they would be murdered
SpareRoom is actually worse than the dating apps bc there’s no alcohol involved and also bc they’re not only rejecting me, they’re rejecting my plants. Frankie and Boris never hurt anyone and don’t deserve this

Stocks fell sharply today as 5% of investors suddenly realized that it shouldn't cost a trillion dollars to make a machine that writes terrible poems.
My dad just called me to request we collect his ashes in a weetabix box bc he thinks it would be hilarious. My stepmother does not find this hilarious. Unfortunately for her this does, in fact, make the prospect even more hilarious
Congrats Elizabeth! Looking fwd to seeing you read ✨

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.
Anyone else surprised by Gizzi winning the TS Eliot or is it just me and everyone else I’m talking to on WhatsApp…? Genuinely expected Gboyega Odubanjo to sweep no question. Deservedly so.
Good luck! I loved Eleanor, excited to see you read!
Extremely accurate take
