You can grab a copy on Amazon! The most amazing poets were involved in this ❤️
Had the busiest week ever but am now reading all the messages! Thank you so much to all the poets involved in this...your work inspires me and keeps me going when it lands in the rough diamond inbox. Poetry for me, like many of you, is the light that keeps me going THANK YOU

It’s men’s mental health month. Men, we need to remove the idea that expressing emotions is weak or unmanly. That’s nonsense. We need to teach younger men by example that expressing ourselves is fine!

HOWL 23 is now on sale in one of our most favourite bookshops, Raven Books, who do amazing work supporting Irish writers and publications @ravenbooks
The Raven is known as the Wolf Bird. I could not love this cover more. Except when it's accompanied by the loveliest handwritten note🖤

What a weird world we live in when even the mildest criticism of Israeli atrocities can get you cancelled. What’s worse is the glee some journalists have greeted this news! I thought being opposed to ethnic cleansing was good thing, but apparently not in the TechBros’s World 🤷🏻‍♂️
