A big thank you to everyone who made the amazing gathering and happening that was the @SmallPublishers 2024, esp @tothefields and all her team. Such a lot of planning, coordination & vision goes into the fair. So important for the small publishing community. Thank you! 🙏 💛

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

My mother never advised me how to vote, but I learned, from her, the importance of the vote, that it was a path to hope, always, whether long, short, narrow or winding. She died last year: this is the 1st general election since 1955 without her 'X'. If you can, please vote today.

Looking forward to co-queering the @intergraphiabks stall with @rachelartsmith tomorrow. And... we'll be performing as part of BananaramaArtWriting at 3pm. A fun day out for those parts of families who don't vote Reform and aren't utter bell-ends.
We've just hit send on our newsletter... Not on the list or didn't receive our email?

An absolute joy to visit @SmallPublishers for the first time yesterday. A wonderful showcase + celebration of small press publishing from across the UK + beyond, expertly curated by @tothefields. The soundscape was music in itself! @ConwayHall #support #smallpresspublishing – at London, England

Thank you so much @SmallPublishers @tothefields and all the team for such a wonderful 2023 fair and for all the work that has gone into making it happen.

The truck from TJ (printers) literally arrived an hour ago with a whole pallet (palette!) of blue hours. Btw, them blues are all sliced from paintings done by the editor! A fantastic second collection from @AngelinaDRoza 🩵💙💜💚🩵💙
To hell with the small life. I am not exquisite.
Cannot sing like bone china. This is the blue hour.
I swim in it, alone and perfectly.
@AngelinaDRoza's 2nd collection, 'The Blue Hour', is published on 9 November. Pre-order from Monday, or pick up a copy at @SmallPublishers

The ever-excellent @SmallPublishers returns to London's @ConwayHall this Fri/Sat, gathering 68 presses under one roof. We'll be among them (if the rucksack and/or the publisher's back don't buckle under the weight of 60-odd hardback poetry collections)

Two rucksacks (front and back) and two carrier bags. For balance, of course. En route to @smallpublishers

Junior members of staff at one of the Clod offices are currently tinkering with elements of a wall display for the forthcoming “Small Publishers Fair” at Conway Hall 27th/28th October 2023.

Fascinating insights from @thecoracler into forging a critical alternative to mainstream publishing, just arrived from @Uniformbooks. Recommended reading.
