Call me a dag but I loved the film Labyrinth. It came out when I was about 12 and yes I thought the Goblin King was ever so spunky. This is the music video of the song As the World Falls Down which I hadn’t seen before. I’m not sure why they have a different […]

Actually, absolutely, apparently, completely, endlessly, constantly, really, totally, unfortunately, obviously, incredibly, hopefully, finally, definitely, and I start sentences with So, OK, and Anyway.

I have scored a bit of a literary coup here at Poetsquib by getting up close and personal with none other than Caligula Coleridge, possibly the world’s greatest living undercover poet. Our interview will be followed by one of Coleridge’s most well known and lauded poems Nathaniel and the Basilisk. Are you excited? I know I am

This is a book from the creator of the world’s most famous living undercover poet Caligula Coleridge
Ever wondered what gnu bladder tastes like? Ever wondered how to kill yourself using only a bullet and a piece of blu-tack? Ever wondered how to harness your cocker spaniel’s super powers? Ever wondered how to insert the word […]
