28/9/25 - nocturn

small hours
big time

sitting up on a school night
in the slipstream of your uncanny story

a figure at a window - a face from the past
a glass shifts in the sink - fucksake - it's Monday

Sam Jordison @samjordison.bsky.social · 14d

What does it cost to produce a book?

Why small presses in the UK are struggling - and what can be done about it.
