same identical sun

Ok, I’m back. It’s been a busy couple of months here, what with the new job and two trips to the US to catch up with my jetsetting actor partner. (She’s in ‘The Queen’ by the way, pulling back Helen Mirren’s curtains in the first scene. Has that come out sounding a bit odd?.) I have had many exciting adventures in the world of poetry and can hardly wait to let you know about them. From listening to broken-down old freaks like Bingo Gazingo in the Bowery Poetry Club to scoring a nice copy of the Selected O’Hara with the rude cover (see pic) in the mighty Powell’s bookshop in Portland Oregon, to channeling Ted Berrigan by washing down pills (actually rennies) with cherry milkshake in the rain on the corner of 1st and 3rd, it’s been a harum scarum ride. Some things clearer, some muddier, a little poetry written, a lot read, two new suits and a bad pancake habit. More to come! Much more!
