For the @havehashad.com call I'm working on something so haddy I've broken the official had-speed barrier into a place that, if you squint, looks like a fusty British Library that forbids both heart and levity.

RIP Yorkshire poet and playwright, Tony Harrison. This is one of my favourite poems, perfectly illustrating the depths of emotion you can find in everyday language, in approaching writing with humility and honesty

Writing is the best, creating pasts that didn't break you or futures that might, creating worlds and making sense.

That's extremely earnest but sometimes in the doing it hits you afresh.

There's a call from one of the big lit journals for material on the subject of football (soccer) but I can't remember which one. Can anyone help?

Ewen Glass @ewenglass.bsky.social · 24d

This is my New York poem. It's also one in which I misquote Kent Brockman.

Hi (not prone to hyperbole but THIS JACKET HAS ACTUALLY CHANGED MY LIFE)

Ewen Glass @ewenglass.bsky.social · 27d

Anyone ever shape up to submit to a lit journal only to be put off by a series of pre-scolds masquerading as submission guidelines?

Follow @barracudacore.bsky.social’s The Cattle on Substack if you have it. Lovely work from John Compton, Andrew K Peterson and J.D. Smith up there today, alongside this silliness

Thrilled to say my new chapbook will be released 14th Nov by the good folk at Inkfish Press. Can’t wait to share these pieces. Also stoked by the kind words writers I admire have bestowed on this little collection (more of that later!) 📖🌊

Placing in a Competition by Ewen Glass

Ever read an old poem and think: oh.

RIP William Carlos Williams, you would have loved Being Online.

HEY RED!

There are men and
plenty of them
whose heads resemble
nothing so much as
the head of a dick—
color and form—
America is full
of them, a kind of
brains I suppose
at that. Thick .

Things Said to an Eight Year-Old Boy at His Dad’s Funeral by Ewen Glass
