Absolutely loved seeing Rich's dog-eared, annotated copy of Bi+ Lines and to hear someone speak so passionately about a poem I love so much too 🥰 Such an enormous joy to see this book living beyond the project!
Watch @warer read his Issue 13 poem dedicated to early 00s reality star Danny from the Real World, and talk coming out + how reality TV offered a roadmap of sorts - until it didn’t. Plus a 2nd poem + a 3rd fave from Bi+ Lines (@Bi_Poets) by @roryosul. ⬇️

The Bi+ Lines project has been such a joy to be a part of and Helen Bowell (@helen_bowell) is a dream to work with. Thanks to the poets who sent us work - and thanks to you all for supporting it so much! It goes to show there is a space + need for such a book.
