Latest poem out with the majestic @BadLilies 🪾
Bad Lilies@BadLiliesFeb 16
'Random Forest' by JP Seabright badlilies.uk/jp-seabright
Random Forest It was the summer of suicides. Long shadows cast over the lawn. Heat gripped us. A death ray. Drove us crazy. Until we could no Longer help ourselves. Or each Other. When the time came. It came often. Without warning. Sparing only the weakest of us. Those who had less will to live. Decision trees danced in the distance. Ever present. Just out of reach. We dreamt of being caught In their branches. Enjoying picnics In their shade. Scuffed shoes and Muddy knees. Leaves in our hair. We dreamt of choices. Of paths Untaken. Roads untraveled. Possibilities dangled like future Tenses. Tempting us with certainties. Like Milgram's dial. Then winter Pulled up its cold white sheet.

Italian Romance?@teo_eve_31 Aug 2025
Had a very kind rejection praising my writing while saying my novel sits awkwardly between genres - is it so difficult finding representation for literary fiction? If any agents are looking for commercial upmarket book club fiction set in the South of Italy, I #amquerying 👀
