A wonderful, in-depth of Sasha Dugdale's forthcoming collection 'The Strongbox' (Carcanet Press May 24)

Very excellent interview with [Kevin] Gerry Dunn. Simultaneously oh so silly yet v. eloquent.
Can’t wait to read his translation of Elaine Vilar Madruga ‘The Tyranny of Flies’ as well as his inflammatory and offensive translator’s note, ofc.

🖊️ We have signed a letter supporting Gaza Families Reunited's calls for Palestinians in the UK to be able to bring their families to safety 🧡
