In 2023, my second collection "Not Enough Rage" was released. My first was "Bolt Down This Earth"in 2017. Both are published by V. Press. You can DM me for copies too.

This is good. Somehow missed the pub-date if Feb but really glad to read this now - having a poem among so many other fine poems. A sheer, austere and sincere anthology, here

Wow, thirty years since I checked this out. Still good, yeah?

Thanks. I've already ordered a copy today but was just curious about the full list of contributors. Really looking forward to reading yours.
Hey, how amazing. That lightning really snags my attention.

I have wondered about this anthology as seem to have lost comms with the publisher. Any chance of a shot of the contents page+s)?

Happy to have a poem in this collection from @brokenspinearts.bsky.social which just came out!

Ever read a #poem & not know why it drew you in? Did its casual tone make you the observer who wouldn't otherwise pay attention to this scene, or did the end leave you both curious & quite satisfied with "I don't know"? Simply wonderful! #ClarkPascoe #LiftToTheSky

It's not a great leap to that, as another question for the curious. But I think I'll own it. It's not meant to be aggressive, just challenging.
Upgraded my yoga mat bag. The nice middle class people will be in for a treat at class.

Lush to receive these from @transsolidarity.bsky.social

Looking forward to wearing one out.
Will do. I actually know and live the Gower. My sister in law loved there for a while.
What a dream. Glad to hear he's lived to fulfil that and enjoy it. I think I'll need to settle for a bit further south, alas.

ahhh yes norway

Oh, yes. Thanks for reading. I have actually *been* to Norway since writing this and found what I was wishing for. Nowadays, I live in Scotland rather than the Southwest of England... And I find a lot of what I wish for here too!
Thanks to Poetry Wales for sharing this poem of mine from their archive. This was back when Nia Davies edited the journal. I have really admired her as a poet and editor for a long time.

But what the actual fuck?
I'm enjoying learning French with Duolingo but I must say, the concept of a gendered language makes no more sense to me now than when I was a child. And I don't just mean it's weird to gender objects, it is really odd to speak differently to two kinds people!
This is a question for the digital age all right. OK, so we're separating the art from the medium, now. In that case, if I EVER bought and paid full price for a hardback or vinyl record, am I now ethically able to download it, even if have lost my original copy?
Is there dignity in work? This, from Paulo Freire:

I'm aware, though not familiar, with these 3 registers. The overlapping rings seem interestimg!

Thanks for the recommendation of those books.
I'm curious. Can you briefly tell me what this relates to? Nascent Lacanian, here
