Rhymequill my beloved...

Yes, I named the Poethead Rhymequill. His name is Rhymequill

I fricking love the design I gave this poet. Started off as a head, then I add him to my AU, gave him a body and a character design and now I just fricking love how he looks. He's just so aesthetic looking. I fricking love how soft he looks dijgbffglioglbf

I also decided to experiment with a new rendering process because I think it'd be boring if I do the typical rendering process I work with. I still have some exploring to do, but I think I'm happy with this one for now. Hope to find my process as I do more like this.

A poem by Polina Cosgrave

The Metal Tide

My bedroom window faces  a supermarket and every morning I wake up from the noise the trolleys make when pushed into each other It’s the sound of waves crashing on the beach a silver sound of freshness I open the curtains to watch the ocean of trolleys rise

April 2020: C. Murray publishes 5 poems by Jax NTP via POETHEAD in Ireland: ‘Hinges’ and other poems https://poethead.wordpress.com/2020/04/27/hinges-and-other-poems-by-jax-ntp/ https://twitter.com/CelizMurray/status/1255423008476364801?s=20 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fgEpSl7m8/ ABOUT “A publishing platform for women poets Poethead was established in 2008. The site was conceived and planned as a woman-friendly publishing platform that prioritises women poets, their translators, and editors. This space is open to beginning and established poets regardless of their age, experience or ethnicity. You can read about how to submit to the site here. The striking imbalance and lack of parity of esteem accorded to Irish women’s writing is collated and archived at Fired! Irish Women Poets and the Canon and at RASCAL (Research And Special Collections Available Locally). Poethead is one of only two Irish publishing platforms that host indices centered on women’s literary art. Irish women’s poetry has been continuously neglected and canonically ignored. This site enhances the visibility and searchability of Irish and international women poets. There are two indices built into the site dedicated to increasing the visibility of women poets: an Index Of Women Poets is devoted to women poets from many countries. While Contemporary Irish Women Poets represents an ongoing attempt to index contemporary women poets from Ireland. Billy Mills’ site Elliptical Movements carries an Irish Women Poets Category which is concerned in publishing the work of some earlier Irish women poets. In creating the site, I wanted to open out the poetic imaginative process and platform a wide range of work. I am interested in poetic processes, experimental poetry, translated work and in visual poetry. That we have a small poetry avant-garde in these areas is very clear, that they are not supported or encouraged by Irish poetry book editors is also clear. An overweening emphasis on the book as product reduces the field of poetry to a narrow conservatism that is not actually reflective of poetry’s renaissance as an art form. Publishers are not using the tools at their disposal to create platforms for showcasing new work, nor are they creating accessible digital archives. There is a very real need for more platforms to showcase new and experimental work. There is absolutely no justification or excuse for their complete lack of technological awareness. How the reader encounters the poem and the visibility of the poet in a digital age should be matters of import to all publishers and editors of poetry in planning their long-term digital strategies.” https://poethead.wordpress.com/c-murray-the-poethead-site/

A Poem by Rus Khomutoff

Dazzle

to Takuya Ogawa

I hold the harmless tumult

the double wound of consciousness

every disappearance that leads to

another appearance

as if divulging a secret

surrendering to the forces within

a lurching waltz of iniquity

Rus Khomutoff is a neo-surrealist language poet based in Brooklyn, NY. His poetry has appeared in Erbacce, Poethead, Occulum, Former People, X-Peri and Burning House Press. Last year he published his debut ebook, Immaculate Days. Follow him on twitter: @rusdaboss

Hello, Who is The Perfect Garten of Banban Character You Like To Draw On Your Style ?

The Poethead

Or as I'd like to call him, Rhymequill 😔

Ever since I made Rhymequill's design, I just fell in love with how he looks. He looks so aesthetic so much 🌷🌷🌷

I really wanna draw more of him. He's so pretty. Such a pretty flower 💖🌸

[jaxntppoet]

we all think we might be terrible// but we only reveal this before/ asking someone to love us/ a kind of undressing — it is easy// to section and peel a tangelo/ even false origin stories expose/ shame — a cerebral echo chamber// when self sculpture empties/ mark the focal point as hinge/ hemmed, at the center, coral

A poem by Ailbhe Darcy

Panopticon

“Only don’t, I beseech you, generalise too much in these sympathies and tendernesses – remember that every life is a special problem which is not yours but another’s, and content yourself with the terrible algebra of your own” – Henry James, in a letter to a friend. We are up to our pits in Sunday papers when my father says that things never used to happen when he was growing up. He means the black crawly crawly Darfur fly, man on a leash, girl with burns, crumpled machinery at Inishowen; and he means Matthew, who died last night at last of madness. My father and I at the eye of the panopticon, two of Prometheus’ descendants, bound at the centre of a shrinking globe. Sometimes he used to turn the television off, newspapers would grow angular holes where bloodshed had been. Now it’s I want to fold cranes of the papers for him, build bonfires of TV sets. It circles us, the noise, all the same. When people ran from the falling towers, they stopped to buy cameras, stood with their backs to the towers to watch the cards fall over and over on shop window screens. No wonder that you with your too much of gentleness wanted out, and we did not stop you. Your friends expect to weigh forever what we could have given against what we could not change. What kind of algebra would it take? Matthew, love, I carry myself with care on Mondays. I lie to hairdressers. I walk. I carry a notebook to write down feelings in case I need them again. I pretend to be someone else at traffic lights. I stay clear of mirrors, newspapers sometimes. I live as best I can. I do the awful maths.
