I am pleased to say I have six poems published in BlazeVOX 19, edited by Geoffrey Gatza, a
press as well as a magazine (http://www.blazevox.org). Thanks Geoffrey!
The six poems come from 2 sequences, but they are linked by being somewhat excessive! Probably best way to navigate is via the editorial page/ index
and then you can see what other goodies are on offer, though
you may get straight to the pages here:
You will see I have four poems from ‘The English Strain’ project,
versions of the Sussex
sonneteer Charlotte Smith, called Elegaic
Sonnets.
Another of these may be read in Smithereens 2, on page 15:
BUT I also have two of the recent episodes from my
continuation, into the 21st Century, of my Empty Diaries project. All the 20C parts are, logically enough, in Twentieth Century Blues,
where you can read the one for 1993, ‘Flesh Mates on Dirty
Errands’.
On BlazeVOX you
may read ‘Empty Diary 2017’ and ‘Empty Diary 2018’
The latter I read at the launch of The Robert Sheppard Companion, because it seemed to be the most cited work of mine in it, especially by Joanne Ashcroft ‘A Response to Vitality’. (see here for that night: https://robertsheppard.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-launch-of-robert-sheppard-companion.html.
