Our eleventh poem in the #EcoSonnetChain is by Helen Mort and deploys the motif of the Ark to powerful effect - the last few lines in particular take a moving, unpredictable turn: …wbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com/2025/07/03/eco… #NewBootsAndPantisocracies

NEU! Boots fur immer brings you the latest #ExecutiveDisobedience. Poet Tom Phillips is erecting the scaffolding but finding that the buildings have all been demolished.... …wbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com

You may be wondering if we disobeyed any of #Trumpo’s Executive Orders last week? We were good as fool’s gold, but #TomEdwardPhillips cocked a snoot at Presidential Memorandum 8485: PROMOTING BEAUTIFUL FEDERAL CIVIC ARCHITECTURE! …wbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com/2025/07/10/exe… #ExecutiveDisobediences

Tom Phillips follows a certain palindromic canal past #Trumpo’s carbuncular towers all the way to a book-burning: ‘It will have, at either end, a replica of the Statue of Liberty ennobled with the traditional spent shells of artillery bombardment.’ #ExecutiveDisobediences

Thursday’s #EcoSonnetChain post is by #SteveEly and it is a big, beautiful and (appropriately) terrifying thing: …wbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com/2025/07/17/eco… #NewBootsAndPantisocracies

Ah, the #GhostFurnitureCatalogue, where they remember that #TableFootball tables are tables too! With this in-off-the-post post from Otwituarist, #NewBootsAndPantisocracies commences a #WeekOfGhazals (or Ghazal-like Things). More this Thursday in the #EcoSonnetChain!

It’s Lucky 13 in the #EcoSonnetChain and it appears to be some bloke banging on about his holidays. It was all going so well, too… …wbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com/2025/07/31/eco… #NewBootsAndPantisocracies (13/14)

Ghazal Week continues in the mandorla formed by the Venn diagram containing #TheGhostFurnitureCatalogue (where, on Monday, we posted the ‘Table Football Ghazal’ by Otwituarist) and #NewBootsAndPantisocracies (where, yesterday, we posted this as Sonnet 13 in the #EcoSonnetChain).

Fellow poetry-lovin #Pantisocrats, new boots-wearin #Blockheads, and (therefore) fans of #IanDury, here’s some Next Generation news and indeed #MidnightWhippetUpdates: observer.co.uk/music/pop/arti… #BaxterDury

Here’s a piece from eco-sonneteer Jemma Borg which argues: ‘Poetry can get past all the kinds of barriers we set up within and between ourselves and between us and what we’ve historically called nature – that which we are embedded in.’ poetsfortheplanet.org.uk/what-do-we-mea… #EcoSonnetChain

What’s this in the coveted 13th spot on the #ExecutiveDisobediences list? Why, it’s an alphabet of approved terms with which to welcome Pseudo-Imperator #Trumpo II by placard & banner on the occasion of his 2nd State Visit. …wbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com/2025/08/07/exe… #NewBootsAndPantisocracies

Næfre cweþ næfre, as #SeanConnery used to say back in the first Dark Ages - if you have disobedient tendencies and are incensed at one of #Trumpo’s #ExecutiveOrders, you still have 10 days or so to send us #14 in this limited series! #NewBootsAndPantisocracies

#Ecopoetics:

Very pleased to announce that the final sonnet in our #EcoSonnetChain is by a certain #GlynMaxwell, and it certainly ends the chain with wit, style and… well, see for yourself how/if we escaped our certain fate: …wbootsandpantisocracies.wordpress.com/2025/08/14/eco… #NewBootsAndPantisocracies
