As it’s @WMHDay I thought I’d share this poem that was very kindly published in the wonderful @journal_stone. The first bit’s in memory of Joshua Jones; the second is for my long suffering wife (the second puddle obvs)

Fantastic piece here, by poet and publisher Rob Mackenzie. Just one reason I balk at wilful misinterpretations of texts. Martinez was not and still is not even on this site, I believe. Nevertheless, it was a very ugly event, with serious impacts: thedarkhorsemagazine.com/Fea…

Found this chess piece on the street in Oxford today. I wonder what it means or portends?

I ordered 20 nuggets from @BurgerKingUK and there were only 19 and I can’t help but think this is how a rules based society starts to unravel

***FIND-A-POEM CHALLENGE*** Can you find a poem that uses all 14 of these literary techniques?! I’m helping a young man with GCSE English and this would be a neat shortcut 😂. I’ll give you 1 point per technique. +5 points if it’s short and doesn’t have complex words

On holiday and ran out of novel so nicked a copy of Big Blonde (short story collection) by Dorothy Parker off the bookshelf and it is SO GOOD. Any other unfashionably old collections of short stories I should read?

It’s amazing when you come across really old adverts on the London Underground - this one must be from 1517!

I don't know who Milo is talking about here, but since he has expressed pride in British culture, here are the ways in which his outfit violates British traditions. 🧵
If you don’t like living in English-speaking countries wearing English clothes eating English food with English manners, customs, systems of government and culture all around, have you considered not losing to us over and over again for hundreds of years? Just a thought

Hey masters of literature / anyone with an opinion: this example is rubbish, right? Or am I being thick? My friend’s daughter would be very grateful for any thoughts!

My new poetry book is called ‘Ambush at Still Lake’ - if you’re a pre-ordering sort of person shorturl.at/bjDQR Here’s my proposal for a (terrifying) rollercoaster that stays completely still

What a terrifically kind & thoughtful review. Kudos to Kevin Gardner for A) being just about the only reviewer to notice that a bunch of poems in my book use only one vowel, & B) spotting why the character 'Margo' is called Margo wildcourt.co.uk/the-sound-of…
