Hello Poetry Lovers, Isn’t this an intriguing title?! And don’t we all dream of having a hot agent routing for us? I always imagine them to have big cigars and tied to two (proper) phones like Robert Evans or Lou Grade. And in my case, shake my hand at the end of a performance givingContinue reading “My Agent”

The Handbag
Hello Poetry Lovers Today, I’m going to feature a (very loose) sonnet called Handbag. A vital part of our lives, and the things we share with it. Now, I realise women poets will identify with this more than you men, however, I believe man bags are all the go now, so you can still beContinue reading “The Handbag”
Memory Corner….
Happy Easter, Poetry Lovers. Two days away from those chocolate eggs…….. However, put them aside for now, and get in the DeLorean as we drive to 18th March 2019 for a fabulous Dempsey & Windle launch at The Poetry Cafe. I would say 2019 was definitely my year as a poet and that this wasContinue reading “Memory Corner….”
INTERVIEW…….
(Rapturous Applause) The host glides elegantly down the stairs.. Now, settle down, everybody and queue nicely. (Crowd nearly out of control with excitement. Security return early from their fag break) Today we are honoured to have the wonderful, talented and enigmatic Robert Garnham . (Pandemonium) Host bangs a ruler on the desk (There is instantContinue reading “INTERVIEW…….”
Back on the Train…
Hello Poetry Lovers No, I’m not back on the train yet but I wanted to return to this fascinating subject. The DeLorean has pulled up, so get in for late 1977 and see what my life was like when I worked for six months at High Holborn. (Forgive the perm! They really were the wayContinue reading “Back on the Train…”
Dolls House Villanelle
Hello PL’s Would you believe I took on a Villanelle this week. Something that’s always looked so extraordinarily complex and I actually conquered it – sort of! I mean Sestina’s – forget them! They’re the devil! So so hard, but a villanelle is kind of a softer cousin. The one that you could get awayContinue reading “Dolls House Villanelle”
Post Birthday ….
Hello PL’s Well, in response to my subtle hint in Trisha Broomfield’s birthday post, this clever poet has presented us with a real nostalgic delight. We’d better read this out quietly because Trisha, Mrs Slagg and Plastic Paul have a ‘bit of a head’ after the birthday celebrations last night. It all got a bitContinue reading “Post Birthday ….”
Birthday Celebration…..
A very happy birthday to the lovely poet and dear friend, Trisha Broomfield. Mrs Slagg and her establishment are proud to celebrate this special occasion. We hope you had a nice day, Trisha. Mrs Slagg has presented Trisha a cake – not stale enough for her standards but by the time you’ve got through oneContinue reading “Birthday Celebration…..”
Adventure Stories
Hello Poetry Lovers, Below, you’ll see another kind of testcard – a moving one. I was thrilled to record this video for the lovely Celine’s Salon YouTube channel last week. It’s a great channel to subscribe to – full of innovative and amazing artists. The occasional ham actor too – er – see below… ThisContinue reading “Adventure Stories”
Trains and Stations (II)
Hello Poetry Lovers I’d like to continue my feature on trains or at least the memory of boarding them. Didn’t we once take that for granted?! Lovely poet, Trisha Broomfield, has not only emphasised the experience of waiting for one of these things, but that how cold a station gets. The wind really blows rightContinue reading “Trains and Stations (II)”
