Poems and things
I have a couple of things that have just been published on-line.
Two poems here at the amazing la fovea. Read their manifesto, it is a really interesting new way of getting work out there. And big thank you to Holly Anderson for suggesting me.
And one here at Mungbeing
Yesterday I had a perfect autumn day with two fairly new friends. I showed them round my garden and was amazed that they were amazed at my gardening knowledge, which I tend to just accept as normal and everyday. I then took them to one of my favourite beaches, which is a sort of open secret here in East Lothian. It has a castle on a cliff, a tiny harbor hewn out of solid rock and the Bass Rock off shore. It's the sort of place you could imagine Enid Blyton basing a Famous Five book on.
I'm also quietly developing my obsession with huts with the aid of this site, Shedworking, which it devoted to all things small and temporary. Sometimes I think I missed my calling in life........

Always busy - you - and so modest about what you know! Congrats on all the work getting out there, it's good to see it when it's done, isn't it?
I found this post SO inspiring. Love la fovea and your poems in it and in Mungbeing are breathtaking (as in causing a sharp intake of breath!)
I agree, huts are a good way to look at the world from. (We used to make lots of huts when we were kids ...)
Anna, I very much like the opening line of your poem:
I will seek the finest mole-riddled loam
And now you've got me interested in the history of butterfly netting to boot.
Lovely poetry. Really enjoyed reading it.
And now I want to look up Sheds!
Thanks all, it is nice to get such kind comments from people whose work I admire.
When we go ale drinking together, Anna, the first ale's on me!
Love the poems - so you.
Wasn't Nabokov a butterfly chaser?
thanks Pat - and yes Nabokov was an entomologist. Wiki says he never accepted the theory of genetics though!
R have you got any gluten free beer? I'm trying to live without gluten just now, having found out that I've become intolerant since chemo.
Gluten free, you say? Can be done! I've been trying to convert someone I know here to the church of Bier, and she can't tolerate gluten. So I'll be brewing my first gluten-free batch early in 2010.
Include me then......... :)
