More Words
More literary bits
This section was expanded in January, and again in April, 2005.It has been amended in May, 2005. The April event was to add to The Pinko Songbook to mark the legal regal event that you may have missed because you turned up on the wrong day. Junior Engineer has now been substituted for my 'timeslip' story because the latter is to be included in my collection of speculative fiction, Checkpoint to be published at the end of the year. Four new poems have been substituted for the old ones in More Poems.
The entries are now More Poems, Junior Engineer, Fireflies, River Selangor, The Pinko Songbook, Words on Words, Card Sharps, Why Write Haiku?, Light Verse I, Light Verse II, Stray Archive, Carp and Tomatoes in the Last Wilderness, Lamia, Writer on a Train, and What is a Villanelle?.
#
The four poems are now: Small World, Annals of the Poor, Notes on Contributors and Corris.
#
This is an oldish speculative fiction story that originally appeared in Auguries
#
This is a travel piece, newly added in May, 2004. It's quite short, and is based on an actual visit.
#
There are those that might think that some of the lyrics verge towards a fairly deep shade of pink. What do you think?
#
A compilation of short columns that appeared in Cambrensis from 1999 until it was replaced by Stray Thoughts. Understatement of the year: it won't appeal to everybody!
#
This will probably appeal to even fewer. Its an excursion into Political History. See if you can guess how far my tongue is buried in my cheek. Is it threatening to bore its way though to the other side or is hardly touching?
#
Something that appeared in the September, 2002 issue of Writers' Forum and in Dial 174 in 2003.
#
Light Verse I Several of the poems (using the term loosely) are on everybody's favourite subject, so don't click this until after the 9pm watershed. The file has now been split 'for technical reasons'.
#
This is the archived Stray Thoughts. It's a series of grumblings and ramblings that has appeared in Cambrensis since issue 47, March, 2001.
#
Carp and Tomatoes in the Last Wilderness
A strange title? A straightforward piece though. Former students of Vasile Alecsandri High School, this could be the one you're looking for. It's here as the result of the efforts, environmental and literary, of Petru Iamandi, my long-time collaborator from Romania.
#
A speculative fiction story. Is a boxing match between an alien telepath and a washed up has-been from Earth a fair fight?
#
A story - the title is a bit of a giveaway - that appeared in Cambrensis magazine way back in 1991.
#
This has been added to complement the TRIOLET section. This is major new addition to the web site.
