This, from @mlferg.bsky.social, is a masterpiece. A beautiful piece of writing, a world in a book and a soul shared with us all. Deeply moving and often hilarious

Good to see Ian McMillan earlier, talking about Barnsley Book Festival. One highlight is @mlferg.bsky.social, in town on 8 March. A quote from Ian, freshly written down today! "For my money Maria Ferguson is one of the best up and coming poets in the country, and Swell is a swell book!" #booksky

Hear me out. Breaking Bad but Walt & Jesse are poets. Instead of cooking meth, they're writing commissions for banks. No one can know.

Hear me out. Eastenders but everyone's poets. Open mic in the Queen Vic hosted by Ian (McMillan). There's always a Submittable email before the doof doofs. At Christmas, you have to work out who's shagging. Carol Ann Duffy stars. Her catchphrase is Get Outta My Pub(lishing House).

Hear me out. The Traitors but everyone's a poet. The missions are all tasks from The Artist's Way. Every day someone gets a rejection. John Cooper Clarke is Claudia. The winner gets published in a print only magazine and invited to read on Guernsey. Travel will not be covered.
