Another beautiful poem from this anthology of contemporary queer Irish writers. This one by @NiChurr

Saturn Devouring, a brand new pamphlet of poems by Simon Costello. The poems are opulent, visceral, wry and hedonistic. They're really, really good, buy it now!

We've been busy working away on some publications, including our first single author book!

Little Acts of Vigilance, by Miriam Gamble, is a collection of essays on art, intimacy, paranoia, poetry and much more.

Buy it here, it's really good, we promise https://t.co/bAluoKIcXL

‘The streets are bare at noon
as though inhaled’

- from Leontia Flynn’s new collection, ‘Taking Liberties.’ What a poet.

a friend of mine's a bit disappointed they can't contribute to the Nobel discourse, not having read anything by the new literature laureate - they said, 'I don't know what all the Fosse is about'

Hang on, I'm going to tweet a poem from it so you can see how good it is

[The Lifeboat @The_Lifeboat]

And because it's Poetry Day, it also means The Lifeboat has awoken from its summer slumber, with lots of good Lifeboat-y news

[The Lifeboat @The_Lifeboat]

It's National Poetry Day, which means children across the country are waking up to see if Simon Armitage has been, and whether he's drunk the white wine spritzers they left out for him on the mantelpiece

[The Half Moon @ Ed Fringe 🌙 @thehalfmoonshow]
