Jenevieve Carlyn@coastalpoet.bsky.social · last yr.Soi-même poetry pamphlet by @victoriaspires.bsky.social looking fully at home in a lush 'Renaissance Spirea,' aka Vanhouette Spirea, which seems fitting given the author's name & initials, oui? Oh, and I did read some poems to the jazzy azalea! 🌺 Started with this poem on surrender. Took it slow. :)

Victoria Spires@victoriaspires.bsky.social · last yr.📅 Save the date Friday 25 July | 7pm An online evening of poetry from me, @wendycaitlin.bsky.social @galiamelon.bsky.social, @karanchambers.bsky.social, & Laia Sales Merino Full details soon! @salopress.bsky.social
Can’t wait to get my copy of @wendycaitlin.bsky.social and @galiamelon.bsky.social new pamphlet! Plus this gorgeous looking debut from @victoriaspires.bsky.social 😍 @salopress.bsky.social really do create the most incredible pamphlets!
Wendy Allen@wendycaitlin.bsky.social · last yr.They are here 🩷 available @salopress.bsky.social. Check out this wonderful independent press, you can find some of my favourite women poets there as well, including @zoebrigley.bsky.social, Charley Barnes, and the breathtaking debut by @karanchambers.bsky.social.
Rewriting my post I was being way too polite: fuck off to this fascism, fuck this bigotry, fuck this ignorance and hatred. I stand with Love, I stand with freedom, I stand with choice and autonomy and human rights, I stand in solidarity with all of my trans friends and family 🏳️⚧️
Featured voices (so far) include: --WRITING FOR ADULTS-- In Time I Will Be Spring Again @clairemtaylor.com woman : free @karanchambers.bsky.social Univers(al) @clintsmithiii.bsky.social We Lived Happily During the War @ilyakaminsky.bsky.social 🧵 📚
In ‘A Dress With Deep Pockets’ @jenferoze.bsky.social creates an ode to friendship — fierce, tender, honest, these poems shine with love & understanding of how it feels to move through the world as a mother, a friend, as someone who’s gotten to middle-age without working out who they want to be!
It’s such an incredible feeling to see people buying my book! 😍
Benedicta Norell@benedictan.bsky.social · 2y agoSo looking forward to reading these pamphlets by @karanchambers.bsky.social and @galiamelon.bsky.social and @wendycaitlin.bsky.social from @salopress.bsky.social #poetry #blueskypoets #bookhaul
I totally agree. @jitterbugwrites.bsky.social and @karanchambers.bsky.social and @louloumach.bsky.social are all doing this in a most spectacular way. And we need this.
James Mcconachie@jamesmcconachie1.bsky.social · 2y agoFor this week’s #LiftToTheSky I’d say @jitterbugwrites.bsky.social is one of the most beguiling and unsettling British women poets writing atm. This poem does what she does SO well.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful review Catherine! ❤️❤️
Catherine Redford@catherineredford.bsky.social · 2y agoVery pleased to finally get my hands on this pamphlet. I love Karan Chambers’ work, and this doesn’t disappoint. Featuring stark, often violent, landscapes and radical reframings, these unapologetically angry poems give a voice to women who have suffered at the hands of men.
So excited for this! I hope to see you there!
Wendy Allen@wendycaitlin.bsky.social · 2y agoTomorrow night @galiamelon.bsky.social and myself are reading from our Salo book at the launch of @karanchambers.bsky.social’s Salo book. Thank you @brihughespoet.bsky.social for arranging. Thank you @salopress.bsky.social for being gorgeous.
