📚 It's August, which means the #SealeyChallenge is underway! To help you on your journey to read a book every day this month, The Poetry Society has gotten in touch with poets we've recently worked with for some recommendations.

Next up is Ian Duhig, who is on the judging panel for (...)
Ian Duhig recommends 'Singletary'. "I have followed Geraldine's work for decades and Singletary contains all her characteristic strengths of exuberant wit, intellectual depth, idiosyncratic learning, slant wit and real spiritual and deep human love expressed with great linguistic panache. If you don't know her, take this chance to get acquainted."

I'm completing a slightly slowed down #SealeyChallenge this August, beginning with Towards a Radical Tenderness by the wonderful Jenny Munro-Hunt.

This is a beautiful pamphlet from @blackcatpress.bsky.social and features my favourite ever poem about a cement mixer!
