Ah, I do so love a Stickleback (when the boat comes in) and tonight’s helping has involved a dollop of typesetting , quite a bit of poem selection from a pile of submissions and then a competition in my head to see just how many words I can fit into a book title. Maybe not in that order.
So I’m pleased to say that (deep breath)
Writing A Poem On A Cornflake Up A Ladder In The Tate Modern, 2023
a wonderfilled selection of ekphrastic poems, will be published on the 1st of September 2023 as a Free to Download Stickleback.
And jolly decent it is too, containing some fine words from:
-
-
- Rhiannon Lewis
- Neil Windsor
- Nigel Kent
- Kerry Darbishire
- Chris Hemingway
- Kate Young
- Stephen Bone
- Phil Santus
- Margaret Royall
- Annie Cowell
- Philippa Hatton-Lepine
- Nigel Kent
- Catherine Heighway
- Rhiannon Lewis
-
(Yes, Rhiannon and Nigel Have two poems, I don’t have the poetry yips just yet.)
So that is one to look forward to
As for tonight’s music to typeset by, which must be the least catchy title I’ve ever come up with, today it was a brilliant album from a long time ago called ‘Doppelganger’ by Curve who were a superb band that never quite got the plaudits they deserved, I fear. Play it loud.
