Interpret

"Spurious Language" will be released by Blue Diode Publishing in June 2025. You can email interpretmagazine@outlook.com for a pre-order.

Brilliant to be at Wordsworth Grasmere, former home of William and Dorothy Wordsworth, for the prize ceremony of The International Book & Pamphlet Competition. "Spurious Language", highly commended in the competition, is our editor James Appleby's first book of poems.

The work of translation and the backdrop of Interpret was key to its writing. Many thanks to The Poetry Business, The Wordsworth Trust, and the other winning poets in Jen Feroze, Caroline Bracken, Derval Tubridy, Ger Duffy, Dale Booton, and Kate Rutter.

On April 14, Rustlings will launch in @ToppingsEdin, the loveliest bookstore in town! Hope to see you there for an evening of poetry. The event will also feature poets @NazaretRanea, @SeanWaiKeung, James Appleby of @InterpretMag, and Olivia Calderón❤️ toppingbooks.co.uk/events/edinbur…
