Four poems inspired by #folklore have been published in the spring 2026 edition of Revenant journal of the supernatural, uncanny and weird.

Two of the poems come from mythical stories around place names on the river Don in #Sheffield where Carolyn Waudby lives.

Another appears in her collection of Frida Kahlo poems, Apus, and the fourth features the now infamous great auk killed on St. Kilda in the 19th century.

The poems can be read in the e-journal under free access here, alongside essays on Taiwanese folklore, monsters in Michigan, cave conspiracies and retellings of the Pendle Witches’ histories.

The journal was guest edited by the Centre for Contemporary Legend at Sheffield Hallam University.
