Excited to be up in Manchester for the day/night on 21st March (a week after the book comes out). I'll be reading poems and talking about John Dee, and there's a very good cathedral to enjoy - come!
Join us for this free two-part event between @McrWritingSchl @ManMetUni and Manchester Cathedral on Christianity and poetry.
Hosted by the Cathedral's Writer-in-Residence @tombranfoot, the events will feature Camille Ralphs, Michael Symmons Roberts and Malika Booker.

The poetry feature in Resurgence and Ecologist is BACK and looking BEAUTIFUL. Rachel Marsh and I felt Astra Papachristodoulou’s urgent writing on the Rhodes wildfires would be the perfect way to introduce readers to the role poetry can play in a climate-altered future🌿

In summer, I hosted a series of workshops at @ManMetUni on the theme of doubt. The poems which these incredible writers produced were so good that we agreed to print an anthology of their work. On January 4th, we are hosting the launch event at @ManCathedral – free entry to all⛪️

SUBMISSIONS:
We are open to prose and poetry submissions for a new anthology on the theme of Kaiju, edited by Aaron Kent (The Working Classic) and Alex Adams (Godzilla: A Critical Demonology). Tentatively scheduled for publication in late 2024.

ALT SUBMISSION CALL: An anthology of writing about Kaiju! We are open to submissions for a new, currently untitled anthology on the theme of Kaiju. The anthology will be edited by Aaron Kent (The Working Classic) and Alex Adams (Godzilla: A Critical Demonology, forthcoming) and is tentatively scheduled for publication in late 2024. The anthology, inspired by the editors’ love for monster movies, will explore the many and varied ways that monsters inspire, thrill, and frighten us, and seek to get under the scaly hide of why they mean so much to so many of us. We are specifically interested in Kaiju, including Godzilla and his many friends and foes (King Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, Mechagodzilla, and more), fan favourites such as Gamera, Gorgo, Daimajin, and Evangelion, and the many iconic American Kaiju such as King Kong or the kaiju of Pacific Rim (2013). Monsters are a rich and spectacular archive of surprising meanings, from the famous nuclear allegory of Godzilla (1954)
