John Lucas, a fine poet and terrific editor and publisher at Shoestring Press, has died at the age of 88. Sad news and a blow for the U.K. poetry scene.

John Lucas has passed away. No words to express feelings at this time. I, as many other writers and poets, owe him an immense debt as a publisher, a critic & friend. On a card I had from him only a week ago he’d written: ‘We shall meet for a drink again.’ I look forward to that John.

Tomorrow, 27th September, will be the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Graveney Marsh, the last ground engagement with a foreign force on the British mainland. Crew of a shot-down Ju 88 versus London Irish Riflemen. Drinks all round in the pub after. wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Graveney_Marsh

Just finished the excellent CHURCH GOING by Andrew Ziminski @old-church-going.bsky.social. Structured as a complete church tour from lychgate to crypt, with insights only a seasoned conservator could give. Many splendid passages capturing both the beautiful and the numinous. A fantastic book.

debate raging in the shop: does pancake day celebrate all pancake toppings, or only sweet ones? if i want to have ham and cheese on my pancake day pancake, is that in keeping with the spirit of the festival? let us know your thoughts, using the hashtag #PancakeDayBigDebate2025

I strongly urge all readers to subscribe to Alan Jenkins and Dec Ryan’s FREE BLOODY BIRDS, the common-sensed and sexy journal of poetry and criticism we’ve been waiting for. I’m in the first issue with an essay on Peter Reading, one of my favorite poets. www.freebloodybirds.com/issue-one/sl...
