It's so important to support indie poetry presses, so please help if you can. Have just bought books by Christopher Arksey (poems look great) and J. R. Carpenter (a firm fave!) 🌞

We're giving this one last push. Thank you to everybody who has supported us so far by buying a book or sharing this around. You've all been amazing, and this is indicative of the strength of collaboration. brokensleepbooks.com/books

Quick plug - the PoetsDirectory account only follows poetry journals, ezines, competitions etc (nearly 2000 now) and only posts opportunities and #poetry news. Give it a follow.

Here we go then! For reasons that are a complete mystery, the @atrium_poetry account has disappeared into the cosmos, apparently never to be seen again. After extensive investigations and furtling about to retrieve it, we have no alternative than to start a new X account.

‘Holding as much fondness and admiration as sadness, this is a deeply human work.’ Thank you to PoetryBookSoc for their review of Variety Turns with Broken Sleep Books in the Summer Bulletin 🌞

Poem of the week: Ceremony by Christopher Arksey theguardian.com/books/article/…

At Part of Life, we understand the power of poetry and the comfort it can offer in #grief. 'Ceremony' by Christopher Arksey remembers the sounds of his mother’s living routines, leading the poet’s imagination somewhere beyond loss. Christopher Arksey The Guardian theguardian.com/books/article/…

Christopher Arksey's spellbinding poem 'Ceremony' is the Guardian poem of the week, and deservedly so.

A pleasure to be reviewed by Robert Selby in this week’s TLS.

Yet again, the Arts Council has turned down our grant application. Although this won't deter our determination or slow our commitment to dismantling barriers in accessing the arts, it does mean we lack the financial security many other arts orgs enjoy. brokensleepbooks.com
