Random poems and a calling


So last week blogger A Cuban in London asked readers to take part in a poetry game/task. We were to grab a book (of poems) and offer a contribution to share with others. The post full of poems is up now (here) and the poem I ended up giving is Edwin Morgan's "The Video Box: No. 25". You can also read it here  (and hear him read it) but beware as there are a couple of typos on that version (and yes, I have emailed the provider in question...).

Other poetry news... International Put Your Poem In A Shop Month (IPYPIASM) is upon us (details here). I can't say I have any inspiration for that event just yet but it is only the second day of the month so I guess I have some time to get ready for that!

Finally I am really looking forward to our local folk club this week because on Tuesday night (4th December) our guests will be the duo O'Hooley and Tidow

What a great idea from Cuban! Really enjoyed the post. And love the way you absolutely didn't play the game at all really...

I like O'Hooley and Tidow very much. Why can't you see Tidow without reading Widow?

You know me... awkward!

I don't get the widow affliction... though I do pronounce the name different every time I think.
