Five years ago today, @iambapoet was born. Just look how far we've come. Twenty waves and counting, 320 poets (so far), and almost 1,000 poems.
Thank you to the poets who've appeared – and to those who've visited, read, listened and shared. This celebration is for us all.

Bad Lilies is a purely digital product, and we're currently unable to pay contributors, but if we were publishing in hard copy and doing the latter, we would do the same as discussed here. Support our poetry print magazines in every way you can.

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her.
The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.
