It’s been an active couple of weeks on Likestarlings.
We’ve added a dark and affecting conversation between Sheffield-based Suzanne Batty and the Croatian poet Milorad Krystanovich. In quite a feat, I think this chain works as one long poem in five parts, as well as a back and forth. I’ve heard it’s a poem they’re carrying on with, away from the site, too.
A precise and complex exchange is ongoing between Forward Prize winner Tess Biddington and Adam Burbage, a poet and editor from Oxfordshire. I’m still taking the first two poems in.
And a welcome to Joe Dunthorne, who has joined the site with one of the most direct and powerful Likestarlings poems so far.
Thanks to all the poets and Daisy Hildyard for last week’s guest post, too.
