Issue 8 of @madridlitmag.bsky.social, out today, features an interview with poet and dancer Tishani Doshi about her fifth collection Egrets, While War.
'Doshi reminds us that moments of beauty – of nature, human and nonhuman – persist…Her poems scream fiercely, unflinchingly of war and then, without blinking, she sings of what we might return to, what we might survive for.' – Ellora Sutton, @mslexia.bsky.social, on Tishani Doshi's Egrets, While War

Judge Imtiaz Dharker says, ‘It was a special pleasure to find something I did not know I was looking for but recognised immediately. Each of the poems in Joanna Lowry’s The Man Whose Brain Turned to Glass feels like a prized discovery.’
