Lapwing is almost a year old so I’m writing a few pieces on substack to reflect on a year in the life of a book. Hopefully there’s some useful advice in there too. Part one: essential conditions for publishing. hannahcopley.substack.com/p/… And, you know, subscribe if you fancy x

I’ve written a poetry piece that starts with Wayne Price’s excellent 2015 pamphlet Fossil Record and then hopscotches over to other work on rocks and extinction, eternity. Do have a read (and subscribe if you feel like it 💚) open.substack.com/pub/hannah…

Replying to @amonochromdream
@amonochromdream has brought us another excellent justanotherpoet interview. @HCopley speaks so insightfully on the work of language, grammar, playing with a word, about research, illness, 'loss of subjectivity' found in a poem. I'd recommend a listen youtube.com/watch?v=0nl0W0OM…
