really so blessed to be publishing my first pamphlet with the angels at Little Betty 💫 you can now pre order for a ❤️‍🔥 summer read

Impossible Heat by Ciara is a blistering poetic work, full of brutal insight on the dynamics of selfhood, community and codependent love. Exquisitely sharp, breathlessly visceral.

We're looking forward to Ciara Maguire's Ciara forthcoming pamphlet! It's always a treat to read new work by past SAND contributors. Ciara's brilliantly-titled poem, "OK !!!", was published in SAND 25.

Ey up ducks. We're opening for poetry submissions in June and July. 1st – 30th June 2024: Little Betty (pamphlets) 1st – 31st July 2024: Bad Betty (full-length collections) Excited to welcome Vanessa Kisuule to Little Betty 💫💫💫
