Pigeon Laughter is an independent press by Jack McKenna based in the North West. It publishes experimental poetry that navigates the uncertainties of our current.

Works use form, language, and image to go beyond received ways of knowing and seeing. Each book is carefully crafted to reflect its contents and is printed by a carbon-neutral printer based in the UK.

Publications are stocked in stores across UK cities, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London, and Manchester, and included in the National Poetry Library.

Jack McKenna runs Pigeon Laughter. In 2025, he launched scant, a print magazine featuring poetry and photography from global contributors, with an exhibition in Northern Quarter, Manchester.

Jack is the author of Street Musicians (2024), The Glass Delusion (2025), and MorMor (2026), and his own poetry has appeared in Still Point, Pamenar Magazine, and World-Dreem 2.
