Poetry Pleased

I received my copy of Flavoured as Much as Coloured:

Published by Clitheroe Books Press, it has one of my South Africa poems in it.

Clitheroe Books Press publishes poetry pamphlets

The Press is publishing a series of pamphlets called Poet’s Dozen.The editors are Theresa Robson and Jo Harding. The first one, Flavoured as Much as Coloured, was launched on the 26 July just before the Food Festival with the theme of food. […] Anyone living in or connected to the Ribble Valley may submit a manuscript to the Press and we are always looking for new voices.

Please email Jo Harding info @clitheroebooks.co.uk

A little ray of sunshine on a dark and rainy day.

I wish I could … read and understand poetry – but we don’t agree … still I listen very closely to song lyrics – that’s some kind of poetry too.

  Viveka.. try buying something edited by by Daisy Goodwin and read out loud.. poetry is so much better read aloud. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_13?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=daisy+goodwin+poems&sprefix=daisy+goodwin%2Caps%2C349

    Thank you so much … will give it a go! Never read it out loud since I left school and I had problem understanding it already then – but I’m a lot wiser today.

      The books she edits are very accessible… but also try Wendy cope as she is very funny… if you google her you’ll get poems online or better still look on youtube where you can hear poets read their work.. this will break your heart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF_bgmvKJrA or try this.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmNXUai-8mc&feature=relmfu

        I LOVE Wendy Cope.
        
        Viveka, the secret to reading poetry is to follow the punctuation, not the lines, just like a book or magazine.

This Is Me:

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

here’s what’s gone before…
