Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear: July 2011

http://inadvertentlyteaching.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Verb New Voices - catching up at mac, Birmingham. Last time each poet performed an existing piece. This time we were reading from our works-in-progress so it was interesting to see what stage everyone was at. The only feedback I wasn’t sure about related to a glosa. That I’m working on, the form uses four lines from an existing work as the basis for a new poem. Each line of a quatrain creates the last line of each stanza in t...Go on, ...

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear: October 2012

http://inadvertentlyteaching.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear. Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The Golden Hour: Infused and Bemused. Right this post is going to be brief. The extremely excellent Ryan Van Winkle. Asked me if I wanted to do a poetry gig in a van. I knew I'd regret it if I said no. So I said yes. Even though I was a little unsure about how I'd handle the intimacy of a very small audience in a small (but ever so funky) van in the middle of the toon. Http:/ www.gorillaperfume.com/.

All About Northern Spirit. For a writer, a place like Salford is worth its weight in gold. It's got everything a writer could ever want. It's alive.the whole place is alive. I think it's a fabulous place. And the language is alive, it's virile, it lives and it breathes and you know exactly where it's coming from. Right out of the earth." Shelagh Delaney describes her Wondrous Place. You are browsing the archive for 2012 December. The North Is A Brilliant Idea. December 22, 2012 in A WONDROUS SPACE. The w...

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear: September 2012

http://inadvertentlyteaching.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear. Tuesday, September 4, 2012. I'm trying something new here. actually blogging about something I'm working on whilst I'm working on it. novel, huh? The detail is a bit vague at this stage but I'll know more later in September. Before it shuts shop for the summer too. Anyway, here are a couple of the poems I've been reading. Birmingham River - Roy Fisher. What the evangelist should have said - Kei Miller. So as I haven't got anything in mind I reckon I'll be def...

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear: May 2011

http://inadvertentlyteaching.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. It seems appropriate that the 3-minute self-reflexive documentary film I made for my MA was called Half Empty. I've just got my mark back. Why am I pissed off? So, what went wrong then? And had struggled to find the space needed for the film to breathe. why didn't I say that? In the meantime .

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear: Poems

http://inadvertentlyteaching.blogspot.com/p/poems.html

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear. She’s a roulette wheel loaded against you. A sure-fire bet when you don’t have the stake. A gun in the hands of a man with a grudge. Like a smudge of silver leaf on a blacksmith’s neck. She’s a giggle that turns into a manic episode. An intermittent broadband connection. A delivery between nine in the morning and six at night. Like a bus driver who waits when he sees you running. She’s a garden wall with loose brickwork. A higher than expected energy bill.

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear: June 2011

http://inadvertentlyteaching.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear. Friday, June 17, 2011. Too busy for Father's Day. I'm feeling very guilty about that so we'll be having Father's Day MK II next Sunday so that Daniel can be spoilt in the manner he deserves. This weekend I'll be down at Live Theatre spending my time in the company of some rather fine dramaturgs and a group of six primary school pupils for the First Draft. This is my third stint as a dramaturg on First Draft. And read a review of last year's productions here.

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear: March 2011

http://inadvertentlyteaching.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Inadvertently teaching my daughters to swear. Monday, March 28, 2011. Deseeded's first online anthology. A couple of years ago I created a Facebook group as a way of staying in touch with the poets I'd met through Polly Clark's Poetry in Practice. Course. The group is called Deseeded (if you want to find it) and every now and then I set challenges. At the end of the month I asked the group members to send me their favourites and here they are in Deseeded Vol. 1. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Didn't get to sle...
