“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.
“A lightning factory explodes/ at sea speed/ nobody knows anything/ about the moon that lives on your nerves.” Spittoon Monthly introduces three harpoon-like poems translated from the Portuguese by their award-winning author, Sara F. Costa.
We're proud to feature our first Spittoon Monthly poet, Xiao Yue (Shelly) Shan. Swift and lucid, Shelly glides among past and present, East and West, intimate and wistful poignancy.
