Our featured poem this week comes from a familiar face! After publishing one of his poems with us in 2024, Oliver Smith is back again with his piece ‘No Safety Line.’ The entirety of the poem is up on our site now.
Oliver Smith is a visual artist and writer from Cheltenham, UK. He is inspired by Tristan Tzara, J. G. Ballard, and Max Ernst; by the poetry of chance encounters, by frenzied rocks towering above the silent swamp; by unlikely collisions between place and myth and memory. His poetry has been published in ‘Abyss & Apex’, ‘Ink, Sweat, and Tears’, ‘Strange Horizons’ and ‘Sylvia Magazine’ and has twice been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. He holds a PhD in Literary and Critical Studies from the University of Gloucestershire. For more information see his website: https://oliversimonsmithwriter.wordpress.com/
