I am hemorrhaging money running Stanchion right now. If anyone would like a phenomenal book or magazine issue (or a handful of them) please consider buying something. I've seriously published some remarkable work.

Happy publication day, @Solidgoldmacher!! The 28th book in Stanchion history is officially here to remind you that the terms & conditions you grew up with don't have to determine the rest of your life. This is a memoir unlike anything you've ever experienced.

'A bit OCD' by Vanessa Napolitano holds its finger to the pulse of a mental health matter that is more than a bit complex, but Napolitano handles it beautifully. @Moette Read it here: inksweatandtears.co.uk/vanes… #InkSweatAndTears #Poetry #MentalHealth
Image: household clutter in black and white surrounded by a black background Text: A Bit OCD Floors are unvacuumed. Spices remain un-alphabetised. I bless the spaces between the furniture to keep everyone safe. Seven. I do not arrive exactly on time. Margins can keep their default size. I would like you to promise me this isn’t poison. This supermarket chicken. Vanessa Napolitano

Spent a wonderful afternoon with The Lives We Had Before by @Moette! This is a poignant collection about family and grief. The poems are rich with colour and sensory imagery; it was lovely to recognise so many places from home! Available now from @StanchionZine 💚🩷
