Some good news - Afterbody has been nominated for the National Book Awards! An amazing set of books to find Afterbody amongst. Thanks to @creativescots.bsky.social, my mentors Alan Gillis and Don Paterson, and to Moniack Mhor. Gratitude owed to my publisher Rob Mackenzie, Bharat Iyer, and family.

As AI continues to threaten the world of literature with its vestigial, non feeling and imitative capacity, I expect the memoir and life writing market to explode in the next ten years. What I hadn't quite confronted: a part of being human is an effervescence in us, flowing towards other bodies.

We had a remarkable edition of Les Bijoux: Poetry at the Boundary. It was the tenth in our series and has happily moved to the Boubdary Bar on Leith Walk. That stained glass is a definite improvement.

I'm thrilled to say that Afterbody was launched to a full house at the Scottish Poetry Library! Afterbody saw all come together: you could throw a stone into this audience and it would land on a poet. Thanks to Rob Mackenzie, an important literary citizen in our little world of Scottish poetry.

Basil Bunting reads "Chomei at Toyama" a poetic adaptation of the Japanese essay by Chimei from the thirteenth century. Bunting is one of those modernist poets I wish I knew better. This is only a quarter of the poem. Gorgeous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzdK...
