Pleased to be in the November issue of Great Works a journal I have been an avid reader of for years. In good company here, with appearances from amongst others, Tony Cullen, Cliff Yates and Mike Egan. All good. My poems are here, the site is here. Thanks to Peter.

Back

in the North West for a few weeks. Time to catch up with mail, submissions for erbacce, Puma Perl's forthcoming erbacce-press full length collection, writing poems, uploading photos of my travels to Flickr , working with talent that is Lara Konesky on the forthcoming erbacce-press chapbook anthology Blood at the Chelsea, resting, going back from the North West to London to see my sister and niece, sleeping, not sneezing, drinking, friends, trying to rescue my old knackered laptop and all the data still on the hard drive, compiling my music of the year list, all the usual stuff that comes with Christmas. Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to all who read this
