I introduce my three recent books (too many in one year,
probably!) here: History or Sleep, Words
Out of Time (there's a new review of that one here) and Unfinish (there's a new review of that here).
I also announce there my elegiac pamphlet The Drop.
And Scott Thurston’s surprise tribute volume for my 60th
birthday An Educated Desire (that’s
why all those books were coming out, I remember now)! This book is also a kind of
complement to the Sheppard Symposium to be held at Edge Hill next year, an event I am looking
forward to, but which I will be only attending in the evening to read poems (I
want the speakers to be able to express themselves freely about the work.) See
here.
Then there are the very recent merch, ‘avantgarters’ from Zimzalla (see here),
as well as a number of poems appearing in journals and magazines, chiefly (web-accessible), poems in The International Times (see here).
A short story in The Best British Short Stories 2016 (see here) makes me feel I ought to write some more fiction. (As did the payment for publication.). It's actually a part of Words Out Of Time (see here for a new review that quotes part of it).

Coming up soon are my 14 Petrarch variations (see here) and
the critical volume The Meaning of Form
in Contemporary Innovative Poetry (see here for the hub-post for this project, tracing its development). The Portable Poetry Workshop, out in October, contains my chapter on radical and experimental forms.
There are some other plans, the most
concrete being the near-completion of the collaborative ‘European Union of Imaginary Authors’ project, which
became so topical (and still is) during the Brexit days. See here for a hub-post.
I try not to blog in August. See you soon...
