It is up to me to spread the word so I am totally relying on word of mouth.
Please share. Thank you.

There are many very personal stories in this book. If you connect with it in some way, please let me know. It's always nice to hear and keeps me going.

Pre-cursor to a collection




My poetry collection Caged without Walls is almost here, so I thought I would pre-empt it with a little number written earlier in the year, not featured in the book, yet seems appropriate somehow.

We can’t stop them, but we’ll always have…


Poetry is intimate             
It’s just you and me
That’s why we’re here
We don’t like crowds
We don’t like pretence
(bullshit thicker than water)
We don’t rush in
Nor find interest in populous viewpoints
That’s why we observe more than most
It’s what makes us contemplate
The broader scope
The inner quandary’s
We are brave
We can see and acknowledge our flaws
Even if they are sometimes shallow
Because we are not deluded
We see more than texture and colour
We exist in truth
We can never get enough
Because authenticity is all we seek
If only it appeared
In other forms
A little more regularly.

At least there’s you and I
Cheers.

Official release.

Until then...




Launch Night






Says it all really.
I realise many will not be able to attend but it's a way of letting you know that the book is out, (well, it will be by then).

Available here and through myself.

Thanks to Joanna Gambotto again for the Launch Poster though she does stress that she is an artist and not a Photoshop expert. However, I think she did a fine job.

More on the book soon. In the meantime, you can read one of the poems, Roundabouts, that will be in the book right here.


See you soon.

Treachery


Come back to this







Treachery

Shot in the Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales, Australia in Summer 2012.

If on phone, watch on my Channel






Sometimes the words come first.  I go out and shoot and build the video around it. In this case, I was on holiday for a week and shot the footage with something in mind, like this...
I need to do this more often. Quiet times away. Allow the mind to rest. Actually I wrote what I thought was a very good story that week. I find it very hard to find the time and mindset to write in my current, normal life.

More video poetry here.





Coming soon,

More on my poetry collection, Caged Without Walls.
In the coming months, a new video series, Pillars of Love for you romantics.
I've got a few things in mind for other text based series. See what transpires.

Have a great week.
