Irene Hossack: Selected Poetry 1996 - 2010

http://irenehossack.blogspot.com/2007/03/finite-self.html

Selected Poetry 1996 - 2010. Poetry by Irene Hossack. Photography by Paul Stibbles. It must be very liberating. To rip the legs off your trousers. And call them shorts. Invigorating. To sit behind the wheel. Of a converted ambulance. And call it home,. To search amongst the fallen. Leaves of Autumn for mushrooms. And make them a meal,. To gather sticks and twigs. And cook by the fire’s glow. To rip the legs off your trousers. And call them shorts,. To make your address. By the constellations of the stars.

I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you a lot. | A lump in the throat

https://alumpinthethroat.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/ive-missed-you-ive-missed-you-a-lot

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. A lump in the throat. I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you a lot. You’ve not heard from me in a while, and for that I am truly sorry. As some of you will know I separated from my husband at the beginning of the year, and the silence has been generally through moving home, being incapacitated with emotional pain, and having no internet connection. But all three are pretty much sorted now! I have been busy though so here is a list of. Stuff What I Have Done. Have blo...

Rules are made to be broken | A lump in the throat

https://alumpinthethroat.wordpress.com/2011/04/18/rules-are-made-to-be-broken

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. A lump in the throat. Rules are made to be broken. About three and a half years ago, when I decided to seriously take up poetry again I also decided that I would only perform on stage when asked. How so? So I’ve only performed when I was asked. Which means that I haven’t performed a lot. However, the fact that I will have a pamphlet published sometime in the near future by Red Squirrel Press. And whom would tempt me out of my performing retirement? You are comm...

Tell me if I’m wrong | A lump in the throat

https://alumpinthethroat.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/tell-me-if-im-wrong

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. A lump in the throat. Tell me if I’m wrong. If we look at creativity, we can see there have always been movements which have rocked the establishment, which have out-and-out decided that they are not going to do things the “acceptable” way. These movements have always shocked and inspired people, they have caught people up, and sometimes left them in their wake. Why are these movement so powerful? Now just to make sure that people completely understand me I hav...

my (elastic) gap year: August 2006

http://mygapyearat50.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

My (elastic) gap year. Tuesday, August 29, 2006. I booked an eye test today, mainly on the strength of getting a voucher offer of 20% off a pair of specs. I'm short sighted and use glasses to drive and watch TV, other than that I quite like my hazy world as I can't see people's dandruff etc and I have the camera adjusted to suit my right eye. It's two years since I had a test done and I've been putting it off because the last time I went it turned into a huge hullabaloo (splg? But they didn't need to as ...

So, this really is goodbye… | A lump in the throat

https://alumpinthethroat.wordpress.com/2011/09/01/so-this-really-is-goodbye

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. A lump in the throat. So, this really is goodbye…. Hello – yes, I know I said I’d stop blogging, but I can’t. I might be addicted to the internet. However I do need to cut own the time I am spending on all my different platforms and applications so while this blog will always remain here (sometime we can visit it together and feel nostalgic for the old days) really I will be updating on. This is a Poem. A Violation of Expectation. Tags: Goodbye cruel world.
