All right? We've got otter based shenanigans for you this month, courtesy of our fabulous headliner, Kirsten Luckins!

From our irregulars, we have Doing Bird by Malcolm Barnes, Managing the English Department Budget in a Secondary School in the North East of England in 2023 by Helen Wilko, Sing a New Song for 1955 by Chris Hodgson, and The Forgotten Place by José Maria Covas Lima. Then we have two poems from Kirsten: Dear Sophie (10th July) and Farmer Attacked by Furbag.

As always, thanks to Pop Recs and all of our contributors. See you at Pop Recs on the second Thursday of the month!

King Ink is hosted by Helen Wilko and produced by James Whitman. This season is supported by Your Art funding from the Cultural Spring.
