The whimsy had fallen away leaving De La Soul in a position to voice a an alarming diagnosis: hip hop faced a double-threat from sectarianism and corporate influx Many Happy Returns to Stakes is High by #DeLaSoul, which turns 30 today! buff.ly/tVVElyn
Stakes is High by De La Soul album cover. Black and white image of a group of children with their faces indistinct due to blurring, and the name of the album in white, rounded script.

What's up? I've got the first draft of a wonderful poetry collection by a very talented young poet that we're going bring out into the world next year. I think 2026 is going to be an excellent year for books!

🤩I think @bernardokastrup.bsky.social would also concur with this sentiment (with a little added dissociation, of course)

Yes to utopian thinking in and about universities!
My own vision of a good university system, unlikely as I am to ever experience it, would be one free at the point of use like the NHS and paid for by a broad-based taxation on individuals and businesses, who all benefit enormously from universities whether or not they or their employees ever attended one. Universities have often been a site of utopian possibility, of making the far-flung and seemingly impossible become real, of pushing out what we know and how we know it, sites not just for training people but for educating them, not just job factories but an important site of growth and unfettered curiosity in the lives of millions, which millions more remember fondly.
Universities have been all these things and more and they can still be them again.

Off down to Mandala Café on Chesterfield Road later to give a talk about the collective unconscious... and music... and neo liberal capitalism... and the digital paradigm (á la my book 'Collective'). It's free, so join me from 7pm if you're kicking about in #Sheffield later. #SheffEvents #120325

Really chuffed with this review of my first poetry collection. Get it here: peakrill.com/products/acc... "Sumption's great achievement here is to marry his ascetic attention to the icy structures of words with a warm melt of associations. Slim the pamphlet is, but thick with affect and meanings."
"Mytho recommends: Accidental Poetry Roadie by Dan Sumption

This pamphlet of poems expands and contracts as much like a sea anemone as a lung, responding to encounters as much as to rhythms or compulsions. At the literal centre of the pamphlet is an epic car (roadie) journey 'skirting Sheffield' and down to South West England, to where 'above Stone House / shutted spiritualist church / still keeps slow wyrms in its walls /everdrenched in overdrying ectoplasm'. This encounter with a slow worm story is a curl around from the poet's earlier meeting with 'God's anima / slinking from sedge -thatched verge.... that sheer mass glides / down a hole'. The snakes are there again, in a den, when Sumption wanders Dartmoor, loses loved gloves, and sails a 'land... made of water'.

Interspersed with these poems of place and genii loci, are experiments in picking apart the logics of poem-making, both in the song and dance of a baby's first words and in an undoing interface with an Al Large Language Model, doing chaos poetry. Sumption's great achievement here is to marry his ascetic attention to the icy structures of words with a warm melt of associations. Slim the pamphlet is, but thick with affect and meanings."

Sticky things. Soon to be lying around in excellent #Sheffield cafés including: Hagglers, Mandala, Chantrey, Kollective (Nether Edge), Mows, and more.

What we're selling doesn't sit well with social media. We're pushing ideas, humanity, the collective. The physical book is none of these things. The alchemy that it sparks in the reader's mind is what is important. Anyway, here's a picture of some beautiful #Sheffield countryside. #FridayVibes #FF

Callum Bell (author of Collective) will be at Mandala café in Heeley, #Sheffield on 12.03.25 @ 7pm. The talk is entitled 'The Dancefloor and the Collective Unconscious'. He will explore the synergies between Afro-diasporic dancefloor culture and new and old theories of the collective psyche. #books

Hello world. We're a new indie publisher based in #Sheffield UK. Our mission is to promote 'positive books for enquiring minds'. Our first volume is all to do with the collective unconscious and Afro-diasporic music (plus some analysis of neo-liberal capitalism, materialism and individualism) 👋
