I can’t help sharing another of Mykola Bazhan’s poems revisiting Adam Mickiewicz’s exile in Odesa and Crimea in 1825. This one is a magnificent evocation of the power of the Black Sea.

The prize is lurking just beyond reach… but we’re getting closer. No government grants. No arts funding. Just us, fighting to make #TheBrokenSpinePoetryAward happen. We’ve come so far, but without £5,000, the prize won’t be what it should be. Donate today. 🔗

A Poetry Award That Puts Poets First – And You Can Make It Happen - The Broken Spine

Poets deserve more than empty prestige. They deserve real recognition, real opportunities, and real support. That is why I am launching The Broken Spine

Mark, as well as being a superb poet and astute editor, is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to producing @iambapoet.com

It's beautiful to behold... or you could just close your eyes and listen. 🤍

Was an absolute pleasure working with this cohort of consummate professionals to bring wave twenty-three of @iambapoet.com to birth. I'm glad to have had the chance to publish their poems – many of which are first-publication exclusives.

Visit, read, listen, share. Because iamb is what you make it.

Autumn again. Trees put on their prettiest frocks, then get more naked day by day. Everything now is poetry – and it comes in waves. Leave the chilly air outside. Light a fire, make hot chocolate. Let senses and soul dive beneath @iambapoet.com's newest wave.
