No zombies required. Apocalypse is climate. War. Extinction. Grief. The collapse of something you thought permanent. LAST LIGHT asks contemporary poets what the end of a world looks like from inside it.

If an account you suspect is a Russian bot is quiet right now, it might be because bot activity has dropped by half since Ukraine started hitting the Yandex data centers.

The Broken Spine logo appears at the top left and @thebrokenspine.co.uk at the top right. White text at the bottom reads: “Read Repost Reply #POEMSABOUT #POSSESSED”.

My kind of library #rijksmuseum #amsterdam

From a balcony, looking down on a reading room with study tables and chairs; with four tiers of book stacks, each with a balcony, rising up to high arched windows and a curved ceiling with skylights. In the far corner, a winding stair gives access to the balconies

Ooooo! I am entranced by this one. It makes me think about how if you take apart almost any sentence you'll find that almost EVERYTHING in it is abstract. Language is endlessly fascinating.

Congrats to @fuckyeahlaurenparker on her recent award! Lauren's David Bowie inspired collection 'Dark Way Down' took out silver in the Northern California Publishers and Authors Book Awards. It's easy to see why if you've read it!

extremely grateful to the editors of @tinywrenlit.bsky.social for including this small ekphrastic poem, after a photograph by Diane Arbus, in their most recent zine :) 📸

The Trump admin announced that winter oil and gas exploration in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve will be exempt from environmental reviews. That includes seismic surveys, building temporary roads, and drilling exploration wells. Our public lands keep paying the price…

As you probably missed it yesterday, in all the joy around Anne Carson's Nobel win, for The Guardian, here's my longer review of Patricia Lockwood's return to poetry: www.theguardian.com/books/2026/o...

Anne Carson isn't American, but is on this list Canadians are sadly used to this kind of casual American erasure of our separate existence and identity But it's still lame and ignorant and super annoying

Reading McDermid (slowly) in Portuguese en route to Amsterdam is about as European as it gets, não é?

We wanted BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FOOLS to look gorgeous.

Of course we did. It's a book about glamour.

But glamour gets interesting when you ask what it's hiding.

A beautiful hardback with teeth.

Book cover for Beautiful Little Fools: Poetry of Glamour, Obsession, and the Gilded Age. A stylised Art Deco illustration shows a sharply dressed man in a black tuxedo and a glamorous woman in a black cloche hat, with geometric black, white and burgundy shapes behind them. The title appears in large white lettering on a deep burgundy panel, with The Broken Spine logo at the bottom.

For those following along, this is why I was at Teatro Tivoli in Lisboa last night. Brilliant. And as Suzy said, if there ever was a time for a trans woman to be performing Hamlet - yes, the whole play - as a one-woman show on a world tour, then this is surely it

Suzy Eddie Izzard in costume as Hamlet. A woman with blonde hair pulled back and wearing a black flared jacket, black leather pants, black boots. She is looking off to her left, head tipped, arms raised in an eloquent gesture
