Buying poetry books, reading them, having them lying around ready to dive back into even for a quick moment, having them calling us from our shelves and our bedside table - that's a gift. Poets and poetry publishers are doing God's work

Not to poet-post, but one of the problems of the internet is that it's fuelled a culture in which people "love poetry" but never actually pay for it - consuming fragments posted online instead of immersing themselves in full collections - then being surprised when poets ask to be paid for their work

Relatable

OK ya'll, we have it: Body cam footage of the Texas Cybertruck driver who intentionally drove the vehicle into a lake to test the Tesla's "wade mode" feature. It got stuck. He got arrested. “Obviously I wasn’t thinking at all." Read now: www.404media.co/heres-the-bo...

As a poetry co-editor for the Morning Star, I want to feature poets who are often marginalised. Except they seem to be marginalising themselves by not sending their work. Send poems for June! I'd be grateful to receive them at: thursdaypoems@gamil.com morningstaronline.co.uk/article/new-...

After reading this newest essay of mine, one of my readers said via email, "This is probably the best article I've ever read advocating for UBI. And one of the best you've ever written." If you haven't read it yet, please do. Maybe you will feel the same way. 🎲 www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

The only way this wouldn't sound utterly self-degrading and unhinged would be if you replaced "President Trump" with "my cat"

Acting AG Todd Blanche: "I love working for President Trump. It's the greatest honor of a lifetime. And if President Trump chooses to nominate somebody else and asks me to go do something else, I'll say, 'Thank you very much, I love you, sir.'"

Anyone else crazy excited about the #Artemis launch? In other news, here's a poem from my @saltpublishing.com collection The Meanwhile Sites, set in December 1972. While the Apollo 17 crew prepare to come home from the Moon, a village mourns its doomed railway. petegreensolo.com/2023/04/16/p...

Poem and video: Walkback Limit

What in the name of fuck is this

Chris Bertram@crookedfootball.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Hard to get into the heads of the sadists at the Home Office who sat round drawing up a list of "luxuries". Just one more method of humiliating some of the most vulnerable people. No doubt the unemployed will be next.

Love it when #GTFC get some exposure for our town #cheetrophes

30 years ago today, me & Matt @unchartered threw away the thing that had pretty much consumed our whole adult lives - which was also our livelihoods - & threw a big party to say a noisy, slightly chaotic, somewhat drunken goodbye to our wonderful record label, Sarah.

You can't win by fighting what the far right say. You can only win by fighting what they mean.

Still tearing up thinking about @jyotimishra.bsky.social playing Fairweather Friend at Words & Music at the Skep on Saturday. That song was on every single mix tape I made in the early 90s, an absolute joy of a tune. I'm so happy I got to hear it played live after all these years! 🥹💖
