Deeply deeply Merry. Tar Press Season Five was so good. We are so proud.
It coincided the accelerated fuckery of this platform which, more than ever, suppresses interesting stuff. Still, lots of good people remain. Like Russia.

In one hour we'll begin Rosa Torr's text, Virgin Fortunes.
She's a mystic from Norwich.
Fortune cookies will be opened and eaten at set times over the next few weeks. Five today.
@RosaETorr
She's a Mauritian multidisciplinary artist living in Glasgow.
Her work appeared at Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art, at Glasgow Print Studio. She designed an event for this year's Edinburgh Fringe. And her writing's been published in The Yellow Paper.

We found him laterally through Muumuu House, Lit Hub, Back Patio, Bomb Magazine, the LA Review of Books, and real life bookshelves. If you're interested in book ownership you might want to buy a book of his.

Thank you all.

Exciting email from Arts Council. However. Considering current situation we've politely declined.

Last day to submit for Tar Press season five. Thanks to everyone. Send us something fun or maybe horrible.
Just received this through the post – very fun but unfortunately does not meet submission requirements.
