Fowler and Max Porter called “Myth of the Mole” from the October 2019 issue of Poetry. Steve's Unfinished Memmoirs of a Hypocrit is included in their discussion. Listen to it here Ep122 (due 15/9) of Lunar Poetry Podcast features SJ Fowler reading from his latest book with Broken Sleep Books, an upcoming book via Dostoyevsky Wannabe & talking about his latest #poembrut collection Unfinished Memmoirs of a Hypocrit (& how people always say you shouldn't publish too much). Get with the program here "This is tiny, so you've really got no excuse - three polished little tales linked by architecture and disturbing in-between spaces. I feel like "ballardian" is an overused descriptor, but - this is it, specifically JGB's own short stories." - Will Wiles on Matthew Turner's Other Rooms Other Rooms has been reviewed by Judson Hamilton over at Queen Mob's Tea House. "This is a thing of unparalleled beauty. It tore me down and reordered me in constituent parts, and it aches and breaks in ways I don’t know how to capture" - Emma Miles : for Minor Literatures, on Other Rooms. We have a PATREON page.

"This is remix; destructive construction; it is, at times, a little bit mad. But there is a strange beauty that lies within the frenetic energy of it all – a beautiful madness within the random that reveals itself as you excavate further and more deeply into the material. Reading the collection, therefore, becomes an exploration there is little way to adequately do justice to how exciting reading the book is; partly because it seems we have been so worn down by the workings of a publishing industry so risk-averse that so many new books are essentially just copies of previously commercially successful ones. It’s refreshing, essentially, to read something that isn’t a prequel, sequel, reboot or celebrity memoir." Review of original plus DUB just in from Professor Wu over at Nothing In The Rule Book. Read it in full here "Truly Fowler's magnum ice cream" - Russell Bennetts : Berfrois magazine, on SJ Fowler's Unfinished Memmoirs of a Hypocrit Some poems from Memmoirs have been published online at Hotel as well in Berfrois, Perverse magazine and Tentacular. The New Prim and Proper: an essay on Memmoirs by SJ Fowler is online over at Tentacular Magazine "The poems are spiky, associative, ironic and rude; they seek to provoke. Desimone’s aesthetic preference is for the messy and brittle against the polite and ordered" - Jessica Sequeira reviews Arturo Desimone's Poems of The Mare Nostrum, Costa Nostra for Berfrois magazine |
