Poetry Bites Back

Words Directory

Seven new additions since our last update and poets all. From London to New York, from the coasts of Scotland to mid-west USA, Hecale is proud to present in no particular order.. Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino, Suchoon Mo, Ryan Collins, Rachel Fox, Chistian Ward, Kyle Hemmings & Hannah Silva. So grab yourself your favourite tipple, kick back and have a read (and in some cases listen).

Magazines & E-zines

On the magazine front we'd like to draw attention to pretty new banners and listings for Spinning Jenny, ill-it-er-ate, Cause & Effect and Stop Sharpening Your Knives. Keeping all things in harmonious balance, four equally worthy electronic additions to mention in E-Ratio, Feathertale, Brink and Insolent Rudder. Just click the banners for a free pass to their sites.


Image Gallery

Yes, there's actually a few things hanging now and disguising the peeling paintwork in the background. Illustrations by Nina Smart, Ykha Almez, Maria de la Cruz, the Erics - Wallis & Osgood, a delightful painting by Jaymee Dever and sample photography from David Poole and Kaya.


Writing Resources

Farfalla Press - Brooklyn based poetry press with interesting titles well worth checking out. Seem to have plenty of events going on for those in the area.

Litscene - Database of sites of interest to writers, quite a few interesting sites to be found with some searching. One called Hecale looked particularly good.


The Hearth

Expect a few more band listings over the weekend but to tide you over in the meantime, try the blogs by authors Amy Guth and Zinta Aistars or check out Lola Nation's blog radio Write the Future.


Expect a return from now to regular Friday updates to kickstart your literary weekend. Take care all and stay safe - ish... depending on what you're doing.
