I wrote a piece about the film Cool Runnings, my short lived career as an athlete and the differences between literary and sporting failure.

You might say it's incautious to invite *poets* to write *in prose* about *poetry*... but I'm really proud of this piece: a survey of poets, following on from one published in the magazine 64 years ago.

'Would poetry be more effective – that is, interest more people more deeply – if it were more directly concerned with the issues of our time?'

Jorie Graham, Don Paterson, A. E. Stallings and more have their say in our 2026 Survey of Poets.

'Here, then, is the inevitable clarion call to Prynne sceptics: read, read quickly, submit to the strange music, resist the cop in your head, be persuaded to rejoice, let the healing fountain start.'

@wellflem on the life and work of J. H. Prynne.

This one is a real journey... my favourite essay we've published in a while.

[The London Magazine @TheLondonMag]

'A painting or a photograph that explains everything, that shows everything – no matter how sophisticated its technical quality or workmanship – is nothing more than one of those icons banning us from smoking or indicating where the emergency exit is.'

'There is no state that is not nationalist in as much as, if it is to exist, it must invent a people, the indisputable conditions of its unity and the means to defend this unity.'

@MarinaGarces on Catalan flags and nation states. Read the essay here: https://t.co/OXDGbGoLEy

'Someone who can’t read a book cannot deliberate, cannot think and cannot conceptualise, and therefore is a threat. That’s where fascism gets going.'

'Each book I write becomes a monument to a phase of life, and, more often than not, to the crisis it coincides with.'

@niallfallon71 @jj_bull :((( bit upset you’re 1-0 down?

[The London Magazine @TheLondonMag]

'We’re not in the rubble, but we carry it inside us. That contradiction, being physically far but emotionally tied in, is a big part of what it means to be Palestinian in exile.'

Hate when a person has a bitchy little online persona and then you meet them and they’re actually very shy and retiring. Why have you deceived me?
