My email just sent my 3 Bridport Prize rejections straight to Junk, it has done this before, very protective of me, I’m expecting it might learn to put the kettle on one day.
Stage one of Poetry Prize judging is complete 👍
Up next: arguments.
We will then contact all entrants in October before publishing the winners!

👉 Vegan Poetry 👈
I am creating a new community to:
(1) chat poetry & animal rights
(2) workshop writing
(3) recommend books & poems.
If you write (or want to read!) poems about animals or veganism, comment below 😊
PLEASE SHARE!

i think many writers/artists are like this, but sometimes out in ~the world~ i really do feel like a freak when it comes to how much i can enjoy something without needing to understand every bit of it. and sometimes i enjoy, say, a poem, even more, the less i understand it
Happy #SealeyChallenge!
The challenge to read a book every day of August has begun and to help you with your reading the Poetry Society has curated a series of book recommendations from poets.
This recommendation is by Daniel Clark (@dang_clark).
