You don't need to have read it to get the joke

Cartoon. Venn diagram of two circles intersecting. The left circle contains the text 'Tristram Beer', the right circle contains the text 'Tristram lemonade'. There is no text in the intersection, leaving the reader to fill in the gap.

Had such a good time writing football/soccer poems for Michigan Quarterly's special soccer folio, subs open until the end of the month. I reflected on growing up in 90s Northern Ireland, how football tops held currency, clear symbols of identity (not necessarily for the good) ⚽️

Pleased to feature in this beautiful little anthology from Temporal Lobe (thanks to @poetjohncompton.bsky.social for publishing this poem originally)

This one pretty much sums up the relationship I have with poetry and - who am I kidding? - with myself 😬😬. Thanks so much to @poolpartymag.com for publishing it recently; they’re doing really cool stuff 📱

Just want to let everyone know my reading period is open for acceptances, praise and sanguine nods of the head like you're doing alright kid

For the @havehashad.com call I'm working on something so haddy I've broken the official had-speed barrier into a place that, if you squint, looks like a fusty British Library that forbids both heart and levity.

Thanks, Julian!

RIP Yorkshire poet and playwright, Tony Harrison. This is one of my favourite poems, perfectly illustrating the depths of emotion you can find in everyday language, in approaching writing with humility and honesty

Writing is the best, creating pasts that didn't break you or futures that might, creating worlds and making sense.

That's extremely earnest but sometimes in the doing it hits you afresh.

There's a call from one of the big lit journals for material on the subject of football (soccer) but I can't remember which one. Can anyone help?

Ewen Glass @ewenglass.bsky.social · Sep 15

This is my New York poem. It's also one in which I misquote Kent Brockman.

Hi (not prone to hyperbole but THIS JACKET HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED MY LIFE)

Ewen Glass @ewenglass.bsky.social · Sep 11

Anyone ever shape up to submit to a lit journal only to be put off by a series of pre-scolds masquerading as submission guidelines?

Follow @barracudacore.bsky.social’s The Cattle on Substack if you have it. Lovely work from John Compton, Andrew K Peterson and J.D. Smith up there today, alongside this silliness

Thank you, Joanna! The poems are much worse

Thrilled to say my new chapbook will be released 14th Nov by the good folk at Inkfish Press. Can’t wait to share these pieces. Also stoked by the kind words writers I admire have bestowed on this little collection (more of that later!) 📖🌊
