Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 29/04/2026All poetry editors know that 'Available Car' is a reference to not just a car that is available but also used car supermarket with 'hundreds of cars available to see, test drive, and buy at Available Car Castle Donnington and Available Car[dot]com ' right? Right??? 100
Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 11/04/2026For some reason I'm listening to football songs in the middle of the night and you really do have to respect how little effort went into rewriting the lyrics of Whole Again for the Southgate version. Go on girls. Give us absolutely nothing. 000

Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Huge thanks to Taz for including Significant Wow in his books of the year. He describes the collection as 'an edgy, streetwise, alternative lens of self-hood' 💚🖤 110

Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 06/12/2025The 'I really liked the way that he respected me' bit in the Sugababes song 'Push the Button' is surely the most unintentionally devastating moment in 21st century pop culture. Like what a tragic thing to have written down and then sung Jesus Christ. 000
Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Obviously there are many excellent poems in this collection by George Szirtes because George Szirtes wrote it but what is this thing with Bloodaxe and enormous collections? 110

Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 22/11/2025I am so absolutely god awful at describing what Significant Wow is about. I might just get some pictures of this collage of brands printed out and hand it to people by way of explanation. emilycotterill.com/product/sign... 010
Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Notes made to myself presumably in the pursuit of poetry: - thin legged dads - sick in your hands on the backseat - on the days we know there are jacket potatoes for tea ??? 020
Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 02/11/2025I hear that Joy Division t-shirts are in the news thanks to the Aussies I don't know how often Anthony Albanese is drunk & he's about as far away from me as it's possible to be.

Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 12/09/2025Perk of being a dual income no kids person over 30 and not in London, brands are desperate for your cash and have no single clue how to speak to you. It's hilarious. It's joy. It's fodder. 010

Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Enjoyed speaking to the Swansea & District Writers' Circle last night. It is impossible to look good in a mid chat photo especially when you've spent six hours in the car that day 🚗 📚 100

Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 07/09/2025I keep saying I will organise a hometown launch for Significant Wow and I don't because I'm very out of the loop of local literay stuff so I'm trying to get on and do it. I don't even have a date yet tbh will likely be in The Pottery if you know? My cousin runs the café there. 010

Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 15/08/2025My publishers know I'm bi & under 35. I don't know what they do with that info but I know they use it. Boyne might not have known he was entered but since he feels as strongly as he does and knows people class him as 'LGBTQ+' then he really should've got ahead of it. 000
Emily Cotterill @emilycotterill.bsky.social · 15/08/2025If John Boyne doesn't believe in the T then *he* should have withdrawn from the longlist for an LGB**T**Q+ prize and then none of this would have happened to him? 2182
