Each October, @afterpoetry.com gets 150-180 submissions for the roughly 20 or so available places in the journal the following year. Every poem sent in is read with care. Only the strongest, most original make it to publication. A handful more are picked as reserves and published the year after.

I know this is just me having a pissy fit and stamping my feet like a four-year-old, but I continue to be disappointed to find that, despite @iamb.uk having been a thing now since 2020, so many of its 400+ contributors never mention its name in bios for other mags or comps. Feels a bit ... erasing.

Finding work after being made redundant (twice) in one's 50s is way harder than I could ever have imagined. Coming to the conclusion that ageism – something about which I cared very little in my 20s – is not only real but demoralising.

Cat ownership isn't always fun. One of our nine dragged a dead pigeon through the house last night – dropping it on @knittedteacosy.bsky.social's foot. I'd later discover the bird had been dead awhile and was riddled with maggots. Same cat came bounding in at 2:30am with a screaming frog in his maw.

Thank you for saying this, @em-words.bsky.social. The phrase 'labour of love' gets overused, but it's genuinely the best way to describe how I feel when I'm readying a new wave of @iamb.uk for publication. That folk appreciate all the effort (and the hours) I put in is really gratifying. ☺️

Everyone chosen to appear in @iamb.uk is selected on merit. Sometimes it's the sheer force of their poetry. Other times, it's the way they read their words aloud: the intensity or energy they bring to their performance. It can also be a combination of these two elements that makes them irresistible.
