Victoria Moul's poetry blog

Victoria Moul has a terrific poetry blog, titled Horace & friends, over at Substack (see here). 

Her blog's terrific for two main reasons, the first being a deft combination of rigour and accessibility when dealing with complex issues of literary theory and practice. It's refreshing to encounter an academic who's willing and able to engage with readers from beyond the realms of university life.

And then the second reason is its additional linguistic and sociocultural perspectives, thanks to her classical background and the  time she's spent in France. This means that she's often able to cast fresh light on U.K. poetry.

All in all, Horace & friends is thoroughly recommended. It's already among my favourite poetry blogs...!
