Literature

Literature in one view. Poets, novelists, essayists and translators with a working profile, poems, short fiction, essays, excerpts and translation published to be read here rather than linked away, and the readings, launches and open mic nights being listed.

Long-form text is a first class format on this site, not an attachment, so a piece of writing gets the same page treatment a painting does. Recordings sit alongside where the writer uploaded them, which is how a lot of poetry actually wants to arrive: on the page and read aloud at once.
