News

 

They say no news is good news. But no news can also mean that the news hasn't been updated for a while, which is not good news. No, that's bad news. So here's some good news. I have some news.

For one thing, I have some new poetry, which I'll be putting on this page. Other recent news, such as my acquisition of a cheap video recording device, enabling me to record me reading poetry, has been documented on the home page.

And I might as well here "break" the news that the mystery poet who I mentioned on the home page as somebody whose work I might be publishing is none other than the wonderful Jonathan Brookes. JB, erstwhile editor of poetry magazine, The Yellow Crane, and publisher of lots of his own work, for free, under the banner of The Profitless Press (most of which, I would say, is a darn site better than many poetry you'd normally pay for) has agreed, by virtue of a handshake over a pint, that he may possibly allow me to delve into his goldmine of material and publish some of his work, which excites me a lot.

Kind of separately to Pure Poetry, I'm also hoping to be involved in launching a new poetry mag called "Square". The title derives from the presently inactive Square Writers' Circle, run by the fabulous Chris Brooke, who lives in Adamsdown Square (hence the name). More details of this will hopefully emerge.

And finally, hilariously, a cat got stuck up a tree today, but this was no ordinary cat...
