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

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!
Ooft, Christmas party wasn't ready for me this year at all
@samuel_rossiter @Tom_White81 Glad you like gorge 😘 Go get a copy, this pales in comparison to some of those poems! 🔥
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.
Explore the new anthology of Queer Reparative Writing edited by Tom White, and read the blog mmu.ac.uk/poetry-library…
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...
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! [Image descriptions]
First sighting of the season: two painted ladies frolicking on the train tracks in the sun
Blue Jean is an absolute corker of a film, get out and see it
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!
Let the Christmas Eve alco-hot chocolate and festive films commence!
Christmas party last night. Just wandered in. Hotmess
Belle's song is back in The Muppet Christmas Carol on Disney+! *THIS IS NOT A DRILL* 'When Love Is Gone' has returned to The Muppet Christmas Carol on Disney+! Go to the film, then extras, then click Full Length Version. You're welcome 🙌💔🙌
