National Poetry Day is ONE MONTH away! Here's how we're celebrating (hint: workshops, poetry games, and an open mic!). 🎉

A teal background with an 8-bit, retro video game style National Poetry Day header at the top. Below, in big white letters with black borders: OPEN HOUSE. Below that to the lefthand side is a description which reads: Join The Poetry Society to celebrate National Poetry Day (2 October) at The Poetry Cafe! The Poetry Cafe will be open from midday until 6pm for poets to drop in and enjoy playful poetry activities - no booking required. To the right is a pink circle with white text showing a link to the info page: bit.ly/PoetryDay 25. Below the circle is a multi-coloured (blue, green and pink) Jenga tower.

*PUBLICATION DAY GIVEAWAY* My assistant, Amor, wants to tell you that in honour of publication of my hybrid creative-non-fic book, ‘It’s Time: A Chronomemoir’ by @guillemotpress, we’re giving away a copy (UK only)! Comment here, completing the thought: “It’s time…”, I’ll pick my favourite on Monday!

A beautiful tortoiseshell cat sits on a cushion next to a book, a copy of my new book, It’s Time: A Chronomemoir. The book cover is cream-coloured, and it has a hand-drawn flow chart with images of an apple, apple seeds, a tree.

Two small piles of copies of my new book, It’s Time: A Chronomemoir. The book cover is cream-coloured, and it has a hand-drawn flow chart with images of an apple, apple seeds, a tree. There are three copies in the left-hand pile, and four copies in the right-hand pile.

Saw about half of "After Words: Visual and Experimental Poetry in Little Magazines and Small Presses, 1960-2025," curated by Granary Books's Steve Clay and M.C. Kinniburgh, at The Grolier Club. This translation of Queneau, _One Hundred Million Million Poems_ (Kickshaws, 1983) was in the first case.

Translation of Raymond Queneau's book of sonnets in which lines appear on strips of paper that can be combined in one hundred million million combinations. Book is displayed with one sonnet composed on the right hand page and multiple strips sticking up up from the gutter.

Three students sat at a table at a book fair, the table is covered in different books. There is a wall behind them with poem prints and a textile banner

I realized my #1 advice to design students is basically: “I don’t know; figure it out.” Of course, I give tips, but what they really need is a nudge to start, experiment, fail, and learn.

New scratchcards alert! Inspired by the ghosties of the York Ghost Merchants, each card reveals a fragment of a haunting tale whispered from the other side. Let your fingertips summon the past — one verse at a time! 👻

Happy ghost hunting! www.poematlas.com/product-page...
