“Dissent must never give way to disorder” is the demand of those who do not suffer in any way under the present order, and who are not willing even to be made uncomfortable by having the suffering of others pointed out to them. 1/2

“being in love with you is fucking awful / cause one day you'll stop breathing / in this grey light you already look dead”

— Richard Scott

Word of the day is ‘fudgel’ (18th century): to make a big show of working hard whilst actually doing very little.

(It's been a year folks!!)

A 3 month heads-up:

Stanchion will open for submissions, for 24 hours, on Thursday, August 1st, to make Issues 16 & 17.

I print beautiful issues, I pay a little bit, I nominate & champion, and I never ever charge a fee because writers should be paid to write, not pay to be read

It's our first birthday! Love & gratitude to our staff: Anchala Studio Grant Shimmin 🏳️‍⚧️ (offline Ang, Jody, & Grey) AND the extended Pockets family. Beyond thankful for our first year publishing magnificent, *unseamly* literature. 1st Anniversary issue here: doesithavepockets.com

It's publication day for Dublin Wandering, my new #poetry collection from Recent Work Press! I've rearranged, remixed & recombined words & phrases from #Joyce ’s #Ulysses into 17 long poems. UTA Department of English Poetry Ireland The James Joyce Centre Available worldwide!

Murmuration of starlings in Italy.. 😊

So good to be back in a genuinely loved journal like The Hooghly Review (Issue 3 out now!). This poem about language is special to me, but it’s just 2 pages out of more than 400, free to read. Thanks to the amazing Tejaswinee 🖤🕊️ and Ankit Raj Ojha for their tireless commitment, drive and care

NEW: This is the fourth Trump trial I’ve attended regularly. But I have never seen anything like the phenomenon we’re witnessing the morning. 1/

Excited to share three new poems today in the bounty that is Issue 3 of The Hooghly Review (Issue 3 out now!)! There's so much wonder to read. My first poem 'A Machine & Soft' is about the last night of my father's life. Thanks so much Ankit Raj Ojha and Tejaswinee 🖤🕊️ for including my work!
