Hello!
March 2025 marks three years of Apricot Press, so I just wanted to say a huge thank you to every contributor and reader who has got the press to this point. It really does mean so much ❤️ (1/2)

Finally got my hands on this lovely anthology from @rough-diamond1.bsky.social which features a couple of mine. I particularly enjoyed ‘Parking’ by Devon Neal, ‘Hymn for a Sunday Morning’ by @taylorfthiel.bsky.social and @Tamiko_Dooley’s ‘Omission’
The thing is, I don’t know anyone that has half a skull, so that’s even more wild.

Would rather run a litmag for free than run the world into the ground for a trillion dollars.
Thank you!
Always a thrill to submit to a @havehashad.com call, but even more thrilling to get a skull! Here’s my poem “Wrong Song”!
Please take a look at our poetry anthology on Hope (just posted)
Extremely grateful if anyone was to buy and leave a review! #poetry

Encounter | Czeslaw Milosz We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn. A red wing rose in the darkness. And suddenly a hare ran across the road. One of us pointed to it with his hand. That was long ago. Today neither of them is alive, Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture. O my love, where are they, where are they going The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles. I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.
Czeslaw Milosz
"I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder."
One of the finest poems by Larkin:
NEW POEM #204: "How to write about autumn" by Jan Hassmann
"Write about autumn, but
not the trees trembling.
Write about the strays born
with the first fog,
pleading why,
why, why this world?
Write about biding."

NEW POEM #203: "persephone's descent" by Eugenia Pozas
"and for weeks after i was gone
the hounds barked at nothing,
and he would sit in his quiet office,
eyes searching for me in all the hollows.
now spring has closed its mouth shut."

My friends at Chaotic Merge aren’t on Bluesky yet (that I’ve seen), but they’ve been wonderful to work with while publishing my poem “What’s That Bug Called” in their new issue. Read below!

Amazon and other chain book stores care only about the bottom line and profits. If you don't have a reputable independent book store in your town, please order from here.
Also, Jeff Bezos is a super scumfuck, so never give a single cent to Amazon for anything ever.
