Last Saturday, 9th February 2008, I attended the Writing Industries Conference at Loughborough University. I wrote about my part in it in my blog last week but not about the whole shebang.
I liked this, like the other one, the strange wasted characters. But like the other one I think you need to put some plot and tension in there. And when I say plot you could do worse than look at Brautigan - in sombrero fallout a sombrero falls...
Neither particularly long and in no way arduous. Deep felt and honest but in a general way that shouldn't make you feel you have posted something overly personal. And very excellent. Obviously. Did I say that?
I prefer blench. This poem made me think of the film The Killing of the Sacred Deer which in turn made me think of The Lobster. Which I've now just bought. To watch again.

I mentioned Spike Milligan the other day. And this reminds me of him too.

It is beautiful and sad. All loved pets are receptacles of pain.

Is Tom McNulty's the family shop?
You've got too many 'de's in there at the beginning so it becomes a thing.
Cathal needs to be in there in the first line. It's a cautionary tale.
Have you read Damon Runyon...

Both films are bonkers and brilliant.
If allowed, I'd be a blue whale. Because you'd get to see things you'd never otherwise see...

Loved it too. And I like the word 'blench'. I didn't know it before. I don't think.

Another striking poem. Although I had no idea what metanoia was and had to look it up.
