Congratulations! Martin Sherman is a towering figure of British theatre ('Bent' alone secures that) and a memoir this personal deserves the recognition. Well done to you both.
Fantastic news today that Martin Sherman's memoir ON THE BOARDWALK is on the long-list for the @PolariPrize. We are #chuffed! Ten years. Still burning.

Our very first publication THREADS – the exquisite poetry and photography collaboration by Nathan Evans and Justin David – is a #musthave for your #bookshelf. Ten years since we rereleased it. Still burning bright.

It all began with a grant from @ace_national plus invaluable help from poet extraordinaire @KatrinaNaomi and we published THREADS. It felt good. We carried on. Ten years. Still burning bright.

Congratulations to the emerging poets who made it onto the #longlist for the BOLD anthology. It was no easy task for editor @nathanevansarts to whittle it down – there were hundreds of entries! Thank you to everyone who sent us a poem.
It all began with just one book and no definite plans and here we are – Justin David & Nathan Evans – ten years down the line and still burning bright. To #celebrate we'll be sharing inkandescent memories of the good books and the good times, so do look out for our posts.
Dear queer and as yet unpublished UK poets. Please don't miss this opportunity to be part of the Bold Queer Poetry Anthology. The closing date for entries is September 1st. All details here: bit.ly/4aRIokb
