Most of page 123 of 'The Feminist Art of Walking' by Morag Rose (Pluto Press, 2025), with an excerpt from 'Sheffield Almanac' by Pete Green:

The rivers, forever five rivers
Driving down through limestone, carving grit —
Every vista the city delivers
Forged at their silvering hand
And while kids strike out in creative
Trades their grandads, roiling over molten vats,
Wouldn’t’ve bloody dreamed of, the landscape’s native
Relief, scribed into five valleys, is the constant.

A fascinating book, and what makes it so rich and rewarding is its ground-level engagement with the particulars of place (and nice to see @petegreensolo.com's Sheffield Almanac mentioned, too). 40% off @thelrm.bsky.social's 'The Feminist Art of Walking' from Pluto:

A stack of copies of Matthew Clegg's third collection, 'Cazique'

A stack of copies of Matthew Clegg's third collection, 'Cazique'

I fell in love with that word, Cazique,
though I couldn’t find its meaning
in any book my father owned.
It broke the shackles in my brain:
just thinking it or speaking it
made me taller, other – simply more.

Chris's Two-Way Poetry Podcast is a brilliant series. Poets including Fay Musselwhite, Rob Hindle, Pete Green and others illuminating their own practice and those of others. This episode (Pt 1 of 2), with Brian Lewis & Chris discussing the links between their own work, is amazing.

Rolling out the sound condenses over ice,
sea smoke trails the boat, twists of light letter the air,
a language holding low around the edges of the world,
empty and endless for the mind to lodge at zero.

I fretted my keys and looked back at the city –
skylights angled to catch wafers of falling snow.
