Invertebrate (Broken Sleep Books, Aug 2026)

[E /i:/ Walker @ENWalker]

After rescuing a panicked Old Lady Moth in the office this morning, I remembered that time when I was 7/8 & found a hairy caterpillar in the grass on a sunny day & fed and cared for it up until it was a Garden Tiger Moth adult & then set it free in my school's little outdoor bit

If you make poets pay to submit manuscripts, wait 6 months for your response, &rather than send an email directly with response, let the poet see "DECLINED" on submittable, you're perpetuating the idea that page poetry & its culture is inaccessible and abstruse.

k thx tra

@no1_Josephine Thanks for this 💚

Barely use this platform anymore;

I'm developing my first poetry collection & I have a pamphlet manuscript out there for consideration.

Suggest any presses that might be interested in publishing my (admittedly) niche work about invertebrates, intimacy, health & queerness?

@HelenKay166 Would love for Invertebrate's home to be there!

@mickconley Thanks for this 💚

@samuel_rossiter @Tom_White81 Glad you like gorge 😘 Go get a copy, this pales in comparison to some of those poems! 🔥

[E /i:/ Walker @ENWalker]

Two poems in the Queer Reparative Poetry anthology, including a very timely poem referencing one of my favourite festive songs. Get down to Manchester Poetry Library to get a copy and see the display, @Tom_White81 has done a gorgeous job.

And if you genuinely don't see how that is what you're doing, please reach out here or in private, this an open and nuanced discourse. Exhausting, but still open...

[E /i:/ Walker @ENWalker]

So some of you still really prioritise that shit writer's wizarding world over your trans/enby friends & family, huh?

Despite everything...

No no, we get it!

We really do

This book is gorgeous, full of joy-slightly-tinged, even the subtle blue hue of the physical pages affected my reading of it. Alicia Stubbersfield never disappoints, we're so lucky to continue to be confettied by her!

Blue Jean is an absolute corker of a film, get out and see it

[E /i:/ Walker @ENWalker]

In the middle of the night (covid-induced sleeplessness) started writing the hardest poem I've ever had to write. Really not sure I want to finish it but also positive that I should.

Cue the existential procrastination

It is a travesty, in Falling for Christmas, that by the end Tad and Ralph don't get together.

That's the real meet cute right there. Such chemistry!

[E /i:/ Walker @ENWalker]

Let the Christmas Eve alco-hot chocolate and festive films commence!
