42. Maps of the Memory
...being a third and final (for now) foray into the world of found poetry, by way of TS Eliot, a mad English teacher and VHS video tapes.
41. Owner's Manual
...being a celebration of the fact that when you have absolutely nothing else to read, poetry can be found in totally unexpected places
38. Breathe
... being a few thoughts on the air that we breathe, where it might have come from, where it might go, and what we do with it.
34. A Case of Relativity
... being a little pondering on submitting poetry for publication, self publishing, and why we write at all.
22. Outdoor Clock
... being a look at the fact that none of us are getting any younger, the curse of the smartphone, and the steady passage of time.
7. Tollund Man
... being a reflection on the the discovery of a remarkably peaceful looking man, dead in the marshes, with a noose around his neck.
