Thanks sensaii Andrew Taylor @dradny for the copy of new & beautifully beatific ‘State Honey’, out now via @LeafePress

Andrew Taylor's latest from @LeafePress ~ rather than documenting, these poems convey as we truly see/observe: peripheral, fully felt, askance, fleeting, intense focus; HS perhaps hints at process - both these poems exemplfy flow and disruption, and a recurring lyricism...

NEW from Leafe Press: "State Honey" by Andrew Taylor @dradny : "...fast-moving to contemplative, presenting experience mediated by language that is fragmentary and shifting, disconcerting and never dull." leafepress.org/2026/01/state-…
