Happy February, doss-month, month of dossing
15th century woodcut of a man wearing headgear and tunic but with bare feet and legs warming himself by a cauldron over a fire. His socks? are hanging on a rack above. Honestly it would give you chilblains just looking at it but it is the traditional labour of February, doing nothing.

Happy New Year! I think we can all agree
Arse-end of a black bus with silver stripe and the words "you are the journery" (sic), the "are the" in an awkward graphic design stepped arrangement. It's regularly parked round my way and they've corrected the typo now but it was more meaningful the way it was

A must-have! Dulcibella agrees. First print run (which admittedly was not on the scale of, like, Byron's Don Juan) is nearly sold out, get your copy here: veer2.org/Kit-Fryatt-H...

Distance No Object, Oct
2025
Psalms reimagines the biblical psalm form
through palaeontology. Language is treated as a
fossil record: bones, sediments and trace
impressions through which violence, extinction
and memory can be inferred but never fully
recovered. In poems that move between Gaza,
deep time, Irish poetic marginalia and our mediadrenched everyday life, the work offers a haunting
meditation on what remains, what erodes, and
what refuses to be preserved.

Book of Inversions is a daring poetic
collaboration rooted in medieval and earlymodern Irish originals, yet boldly inverted. Fryatt
and Gilonis reinterpret original Irish poems,
flipping and recomposing them in contemporary
registers. Satirical, irreverent, and formally
adventurous, the book transforms inherited
tradition into a site of play, tension, and renewal.
Meanings slip sideways, rhythms unfold against
expectation, and the ancient becomes startlingly
new in this inventive re-imagining of our poetic
past. For readers of books such as Geoffrey
Squires' My News For You: Irish Poetry 600-1200,
it is a must-have!Black and white cat on blue and grey sofa cushions with copy of Book of Inversions
