Now 11 days! Alas, Chiara is no longer able to join @PaperRifles @RobAMackenzie1 @jaywhittapoet @naomieah_ & Norman Lamont, but please welcome back Emma Martin! We're hard at work adjusting the show- what better way to show support than nabbing a ticket via the link in our bio?

My musical highlight of 2023 was the long overdue discovery of The Saints. What a joy it's been!
Dorian Cope@OnThisDeity19 Sep 2023
Thank fuck for music, right? (Pt 2) Julian totally blew my mind this morning with a song I'd never heard before. I honestly don't know how I missed it because it couldn't be more my thing 😳 But I'm here now and it was Big Big Love at first listen. The Saints – Know Your Product

These are the poets and writers who have been killed in Gaza.

One of my dreams is for my books and my writings to travel the world, for my pen to have wings so that no unstamped passport or visa rejection can hold it back.  Another dream of mine is to have a …

“Sartre thought that life could be caught in a trap of words, and I’ve always felt that words weren’t life itself but a reproduction of life, of something dead, so to speak.” We’ve unlocked our interview with Simone de Beauvoir. buff.ly/453ZqG8

The Art of Fiction No. 35 by Simone de Beauvoir, translated by Bernard Frechtman

“I’ve shown women as they are, as divided human beings, and not as they ought to be.”

Coming soon: In her much anticipated second collection ‘Hollywood or Home’ @KathrynGray reflects on the glamour & heartbreak of Hollywood, questioning celebrity culture, & ideas of success & failure. Pre-order now bit.ly/HollywoodOrHome. Publishing October 2023.
“Gray’s long-awaited second collection both celebrates and accuses the glamour and imagination of the movies in particular, and of art in general. Whether it’s Meryl Streep or Ferris Bueller or John Cazale she’s writing of, Gray is illuminating, funny, and frequently moving. Underpinning the comedy and satire, though, is a real pain at life’s jolts and time’s relentlessness.” – Nick Laird
