The Poetry of William Doreski

Our June featured poet William Doreski touches on bad art and sinister religion, removing the distance between Europe and a gloomy New England.

The Poetry of Camilla BD

“Poetry is my way to humanise everything inanimate in the city,” says Camilla BD. In three poems, Spittoon Monthly’s December poet casts her animating eye on Edinburgh and Beijing.

What is Spittoon?

Spittoon is a Beijing-based arts collective that produces events and programming throughout China and publishes Spittoon Literary Magazine, all with the goal of bringing together Chinese and foreign writers, artists, and literary enthusiasts. We host regular literature events every Thursday in Beijing and a music-poetry collab event called Spittunes, as well as events in Shanghai, Xi'an, and Gothenberg, Sweden.

The Spittoon Literary Magazine is a biannual publication dedicated to bringing Chinese writing and art to an English-language audience. Our unique team of Western and Chinese writers seeks out, translates, and publishes China's best, most exciting new voices.
