Today’s excerpts, from Jenny Wong, are found in BIOPHILIA, ‘The Wooden Rental Canoe’ and ‘Low Tide on Shell Beach’ run straight to the core, and we suggest venturing to the issue for the full poems (and to find Jenny's work elsewhere, of course) at wingedmoon.com/biophilia

I’ve deleted a social media app off my phone to reduce scrolling and to be more productive. As a result, I’ve posted my first tweet after weeks! Productive/not productive?

A beautiful episode with the eternal Jane Goodall. The On Being Project open.spotify.com/episode/6lAXzd…

Anyone else get a moka pot. I tried my first coffee with my new “espresso” pot and I love it!

I will always share this gem when I see it!

It’s coming up to Halloween. Couldn’t resist dressing up the dog. It’s a good distraction from that essay I’m supposed to be writing as well!

Highly recommend for South Asian/south east Asian writers and poets

Read on our substack and grab a gorgeous print at the launch on 7 November at Bard books

Grief is The Thing with Feathers by Max Porter is my current reread. It’s a study in visceral perfection in my opinion. It’s succinct, precise like a scalpel. It cuts deep. Read it if you haven’t already. A modern classic if there ever was one.

A wee one for TopTweetTuesday and Matthew M C Smith’s supernatural brief (hope I didn’t fudge it too much!)

Good morrow to our fine host Matthew M C Smith TopTweetTuesday theme #supernatural #paranormal max 60 wrds. I've done my best to follow the brief, Matt, but this one proved rather harder to get down on the page than I first thought. Anyway take my poem as is -on its own merits!

‘Independent publishing is facing an existential crisis’: illustrated.

This was our maddest idea yet and could have very well ended a mindless pursuit. But you guys really wrote THE MANY LIVES OF ATLAS A! Line-up coming soon feat. writers from India, Bangladesh, England, Scotland, USA, UAE, Hong Kong, Canada, Kenya, Guyana, and Trinidad & Tobago.🌍

Anyone else submitting last minute to the NPC? Thought I had a finished poem, which I started this morning, but an hour away makes me want to rewrite the whole thing! Darn!

Tonight! If you're not joining us from the UK, please check your time zone. 7 pm GMT #WeKeepTelling
