Stu,

I am taken with your art as I can see clearly the influence of Science Fiction. I particularly liked the one with the Zeppelin issuing black tentacles. Any more?

Thanks
Keith

Stu, I haven't been out to WOL, Sale, in months now. But there has always been Open Mic for anyone who comes early enough to 'register' on a 'first come first served' basis. The time is definitely limited, depending on the numbers, but it would be an opportunity to promote your book.

Have you ever contacted the 'leaders' re: a guest slot again?

I might actually be well enough to participate in March. Ring out the Joy Bells! I sure hope so.

Hi Stu,

Just read your sample poems and they are sublime. Don't know how you do it. It's not often I think " I wish I'd written that" but really I'm thinking that now. I wouldn't mind buying your first collection.

thanks for commenting on 'the weeping angel' Stu - she was from my home city - there's quite a lot in the news about her at the moment - but, until very recently, her story wasn't even known in Wakefield - I'm really pleased that's changed because it is a truly remarkable story

Stu, thanks for your most recent comment. I've changed the'poem' a bit, and I'm only hoping I've not spoiled what you liked.

It refuses to be 'categorised' as any 'type' of form. It just fights back. And so I let it be what it is. I'm not sure it's 'poetry' at all.

Stu, thank you for your recent comment on my latest poem. I understand what you say. Poets seem attracted by human existence and the world about us which provides a good deal to think about. I first approached religion in a rationalistic way. How did this all come to be? Why am I here? Then there is the faith approach of belief with little or no evidence. This path invariably steers people into some kind of institutionalised religious grouping be it Church , Temple or Mosque. I developed a faith but soon could not cope with institutionalised religion as I found it corrupt and controlling. As I apporach the age of seventy I would describe myself as a free thinker with a profound faith but not one determined by others. Thanks again for your comment. Keith

Thanks for the comment on my profile picture, Stu. I sketched that years ago when I was spending much too much time in solitude and it is one of the few things that survived my return to the world.

I hope things are going well with your writing, fella..it's very good to hear from you.

Stuart, there is no Sale poetry evening in August; it is a 'holiday' month for the MC's. For us all. At least, that's what I understand. Just in case you were planning to join us again, please double check.

And thanks for your supportive comments, always.

I've just started reading Vuong's work and--you're right--he's fantastic. I don't buy much poetry but I'm definitely considering his book. You couldn't have made a more welcome suggestion.

Stu, I had been anticipating your 'visit' to Sale for months. I'm sure glad I didn't miss it.

Re 'Four Trees and A Girl'. If it is possible to have a 'favourite' of one's own work, this might be mine. Or not. I often read it just for myself because it makes me feel so good deep inside.

I find this element of detachment making it possible to read my own poems objectively very intriguing. And it certainly isn't self-love. Or arrogance. If a poem of mine doesn't reach that level of separation, I lose it. Or set it aside for more consideration. Usually the latter, because I value the power of a 'first idea'.

Hi Stu
It was great to catch up with you last night. your poetry was fantastic as usual. As I mentioned last night it is worth attending Marsden Jazz festival in October. Julian will be publishing it no doubt closer to the time. Also around the same time is the Chorlton literary festival which is around the same time and will also be on the WOL web site nearer the time. Both of these events get packed so they are good places to get known. All the best with the book. I look forward to more posts. Hope to see you again soon
Cheers

Hi, Stu,

I just wanted to thank you for commenting on "..to make something beautiful". And, I hope things are going well with your writing in and outside of poetry. You show quite a unique perspective through it and that, in itself, makes your work invaluable, truly.

Hi Stu. I just wondered if you firmed up a visit to Send poetry in December as yet. You mentioned you might get a doss at Davids' ; if not is there still a chance. I'm a one bedroom man in a bungalow so very tricky but If no luck i'll have a word with Greg Freeman who might have a few ideas.

All the best - good news coming shortly!

Thanks for the comments on 'Eater Of Worlds' Stu - appreciate it. The Wigan thing went well - we'll catch up some other time I'm sure - always family first :-) I have a morbid fascination with clowns due to the reading of Stephen King and Peter Straub - the all time classic spook out is 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' film and book - cheers

thanks for the continued supportive comment Stu - I also checked on WOL before posting 'Rosetta...' and couldn't believe no one had posted already - pays to be quick eh? From one Yorkshireman to another - I was also moved by those final pictures - not that I'd share that with non-Yorkshire folk you understand - oh, wait a minute....*wink*

About The Storm - really gratifying that you liked this so much Stu. It was an intense experience and I had to rise to do it justice. Scared is good for the juices I think.

Maybe POTW will one day will be put to a vote like they do on telly! But we know there is a red leather door and machinations...... thanks anyway.

Just to let you know Stu, myself and good lady went off to the New Forest in a log cabin type break for four days, quite nice, and no poetry thoughts at all but since I got back there are two on the back burner! We got caught overnight in a helluva storm like millions of others.
