Recent Press (Part I): Stride Magazine / The Stinging Fly / Long Poem Magazine / 'The Greece That Hurts'

I'm grateful for attention my work continues to receive from other poets and writers, reviewers and editors, essayists and academics. I'm especially pleased when this is not confined to discussions of the most recent book, but extends to the broader arc of my practice, giving a multifaceted and cumulative reading of it. This is Part One of a two-part post rounding up some commentary that appeared over the first half of 2024. It focuses on reviews and essays on my books or other published work. Part Two ( coming soon now available here ) will log coverage of activities of mine that extend beyond print publishing. * On 11 January 2024, UK-based  Stride Magazine published a review of  Contemporaneous Brand Strategy Document (Veer Books, 2023) which I was happy to note given the attention Stride gives to poetry from small presses and in broadly experimental modes, and especially since in the past the magazine published one of the most comprehensive reviews of my third boo...

After a long gestation period, I'm very pleased to share that issues 12 and 13 of gorse   are now available. gorse No. 12 is predominantly concerned with Language and Translation, and I'm delighted to be including in it poetry from Ray Malone , Silvina Ocampo  in translation by Caitlin Newby , Jérémie C. Wenger , Sujatha Menon , Martin Jackson , and Ghazal Mosadeq . Some of these poets have been waiting a long time for the release of the issue featuring their work, and I thank them particularly for their patience. Issue 13 is themed around the notion(s) of Taboo, with poetry contributions from Michael Chang , Viviana Fiorentino , Will Fleming ,  Özgecan Kesici-Ayoubi , and Lianne O'Hara .

As ever, I'm grateful to all the above...

if we keep drawing cartoons (If A Leaf Falls Press)

My limited edition pamphlet if we keep drawing cartoons  was published by If a Leaf Falls Press earlier this month. If a Leaf Falls Press is a micropress run from Edinburgh by Sam Riviere , and publishes poetry with an emphasis on appropriative and arbitrary writing processes. Now in its Second Season, the press has since its inception in 2015 published simple, elegant pamphlets with work by some exciting writers and artists including Emily Berry, Crispin Best, nick-e melville, Maria Fusco, Rachael Allen and Sam Riviere himself. My thanks to Sam for inviting me to join this distinguished list. if we keep drawing cartoons is published in an edition of 36. It comprises ten untitled sections/extracts from the book-length work (in progress) I've been occupied with since mid-2014. As is the case with most of its titles, the press sold out of if we keep drawing cartoons very quickly. If a Leaf Falls Press publications are archived at The Poetry Library London...
