BetaRish (is)....

will be a caliph for an hour

is analogue first

is a corporate mascot, fluffily unthreatening

is democracy’s handmaiden

is a rolling boil, waiting for the potatoes

Commercial: Poetry Postcards

If you haven't got any poetry plans for the summer holidays, may I casually suggest coming to my half-day workshop at The Poetry School, which will feature a gallimaufry* of things, all centred round the idea of using postcards as a way of exploring forms from around the world? There will be much writing, pretty pictures and general gadding about.

It would be tremendous if you could join us. More details here.



*medley of things might be as disorganised as all that.
