Last three poems of Yi Sang's "Crow's Eye View" will be posted next Thursday and Friday. I am deeply touched by everyone who has been following this series. Thank you, thank you.

Our thoughts and solidarity are with all affected by the racist and Islamophobic attacks taking place across the UK. We stand together against far-right violence and in support of all of our members and wider communities affected by these attacks.

Out now - and on the way to subscribers in the post! MPT’s July issue ‘Salam to #Gaza’ spotlights poetry of dissent and resistance. See link in bio for the full contents. Cover art by Justin Moore, photographed here by @georgetorode, on the beautiful shelves @housmans_books.

Taking a detour from Yi Sang's "Crow's Eye View" series, here is his posthumous poem titled "Destruction of Texts." I'm grateful to Modern Poetry in Translation for including it in the new issue. The horrors of civilian massacres in Gaza made me read one of Yi Sang's last poems with new insight.

POLL TIME! Where are all the poetry and translation people at these days? Help us out. 🙏 Pls share! The Poetry Society Poetry Translation Centre British Centre for Literary Translation National Poetry Day Arts Council England New Writing North Scottish Poetry Library Asymptote Journal English PEN

Proofreading my Hardly War for And Other Stories - UK&EU Mar 2025, @WavePoetry 2016. Though the poem is about the relentless carpet-napalm-bombing of Korea by the US 1950-53, it mirrors the genocidal war against Palestine. Same war. American War. #freepalestine
