Design of the times
Sunmast Pamphlets has published a tiny wee mini poetry anthology about as big as your thumb called Design Of The Times. It has various metered ruminations by yours truly about design and architecture, including a fine piece about furniture and was created using a revolutionary new paper-folding technique as pioneered by the likes of Bookville and friends. I'll gladly send a copy to anyone wants one.

The Creative
In the next issue of The Creative - "a magazine to enable University of Sunderland students to display their original poetry, prose, and articles relating to creativity" - I will be the featured guest writer. This is following my lecture at the beginning of the year entitled The Seawater Journals in which I presented poetry and music in response to this quotation by John Kinsella in which he describes the remit of radical pastoral poetry:
Functionality, modernity, the "awareness" of artifice in the creation of pastoral texts, the consideration of movement between urban and rural spaces - both conceptual and physical - and, fundamentally, the relationship of lyrical language and the position of the observer, the lyrical I, to the rural.
The featured poem in the magazine will be "The Mudlarks".

Yard
"Yard", a short story, has been self published by Sunmast Pamphlets using the font Garamond. Enquiries as to its availability to circletide AT gmail.com.
The short story has a glaring grammatical error which cannot fail to be noticed. Discounts available to those who say nothing.

oak and heather
you shook
at station
after three months
precursor collision
the train from kings x
a change
as good as
a rest
commisioned your fatigue
on the platform
full of arrivals and shivers
outside, streets
of millet and rye
leaden evenings
& drains poaching water
a pencil drawn sky
down sun
returning home now
country side
it has been three months
cause and after
slow and slower
ours and other
oak and heather
as good as
a rest
