I have a few copies of these ("anarchic and erotic" 😳 -- Luke Kennard) pamphlets to sign and send out at the weekend -- happy to send to UK, Europe, or further afield, if desired... DM for details... #Palomines
Apparently it's possible to order a copy of my pamphlet from Amazon and it will arrive next April! 😱 Alternatively, you can get one in a day or two from the very friendly & efficient publisher @DiodeBlue ... bluediode.co.uk/shop....

Four five star reviews on Goodreads and my average is 4.94. Am reminded of the teacher who couldn't bear to give anyone an A, so opted for a begrudging A-.
Email to self: when flicking between tenses in a (very) short story check you are always in the right tense. Then check again...

A prosepoem about my grandfather, who lived with severe shellshock while still a talented musician, furniture maker, gardener, painter - and model of kindness. Fred would be 137 now: I owe him my lifelong love of music. Thx to @InkSweatTears for publishing it.
'Grandfather/ Grandson' by Dave Wakely is a poem that shifts through a relationship with a deft hand and long lines.

Saturday haiku
grief buries the sun
tears are memories reshaped
