Eff-able will be back in stock early February. Order at fourteenpoems.com now and we’ll get your copy out as soon as we have them!

In 2025 we had the privilege of being visited by many wonderful poets in our Oxford Street store. Our final visit of the year was from the editors of the brilliant eff-able anthology - @jpseabright and @a_g_parker . eff-able is a “spicy anthology of queer crip poetry” which can be found in our Becoming section. “The project aims to shine a spotlight on the lives and experiences of queer disabled people in the field of sexual play, desire, and sensuality from a positive perspective.” Here JP shares the poem “Salt pig” by Claire Sosienski Smith. clr.ski We look forward to welcoming many more poets to our stores in 2026. #PoetryPharmacy #QueerPoetry
