In other news, the latest Penteract Podcast has arrived!

In Series 2 Episode 16, Anthony speaks with Mick Hodgkin, limerick writer, crossword setter, and Puzzles Editor for The Times and The Sunday Times. To mark National Limerick Day 2023, Anthony and Mick discuss limerick form and its history, share some favourite limericks, and chat about Mick's topical limerick Twitter account, Mick Twister. They also explore crossword clues, puzzle editing, wordplay, and Wordle. Listen here!

June and July will see the publication of three new books from Penteract Press and Enneract Editions:

EARTHRISE by Moira Walsh (Enneract Editions, June 2023): The 13th Enneractbook features a set of formal and constrained poems by translator and copywriter Moira Walsh. This is Moira’s debut collection.

MNEMONIC TRAINS by Laura Kerr & Nick Piombino (Penteract Press, July 2023): Using a variety of digital techniques, Laura Kerr transforms Nick Piombino's analogue collages, sometimes embellishing the latter's colours, language and shapes, other times distorting them beyond recognition.

MIRRORS by Merlina Acevedo (Penteract Press, July 2023): Three sequences of palindromic poems — two in Spanish and one in English — accompanied by an array of striking visual artworks.

For all things Penteract, please keep an eye on our website, PenteractPress.com, and on our Twitter page, our podcast’s Twitter page, our Facebook page, and our Instagram Page.

Till next time, stay safe,
 
Anthony and Clara
