PSA: if your poetry is pissing someone off because it doesn't meet some academic standard of what a certain structure or form is, you're probably doing just fine. Poetry is not set in stone, it's an evolving language. Screw your canon, old man :)

A weird little poem based on an obscure British horror film now published with collages made from the poem's text and reworkings of the DVD's cover art. Thanks so much Oli! 👾

BlueSky is a void I telegraph to, but sharing again to encourage engagement with this. Collecting all that was published by the Board from late 2020 to the end of 2021, it's a genuine slice of art history from a particular artistic community at a particular moment in time. #poetry #writing #vispo
