Bus thing

The Poetry Bus Magazine, Issue 5

I'm thrilled to have my poem "Work" in The Poetry Bus #5. Many thanks to Peadar & Collette O' Donoghue for including it.

The mag itself is packed to busting with poetry from some established and some new names and illustrated with wonderful art, reproduced on high quality colour pages: a thing of beauty. I cannot put it down.

Track in

My friend Jamez Chang has released his comeback hip-hop track, "15 Years" and my voice is on it!

The story behind the track is here. The track is here.

Hop art

How can you get from fiction to art to hip-hop in one day?

Since putting out a shout to help me raise enough funds to fly to the UK to collect my Short Fiction award, I've been completely floored by the generosity of friends, but even more amazing has been how friends of theirs - people I don't personally know - have jumped in to help their friend help a friend.

For example, Ezra Letra, a friend I met through my friend Jamez Chang, has donated profits from sales of his music for 24 hours - there are a couple of hours left if you want to pick up some hip-hop.

But then Jesse Michael Warren AKA Symetrik stepped in - he's a true gent, by the way - and donated profits from sales of his music.

And now, Beatsmith Medore has also offered to donate profits from this weekend's sales of his music.

Even if hip-hop isn't your thing, check these two kind hearts out, because they are bound to be doing good things.

From fiction, to art to hip-hop; from my heart, thank you, guys.

Post it

In an effort to raise enough funds to get me to the UK to collect my Short Fiction prize next month, I'm selling some art, see last post.

But if that's out of your budget, what about a post card? Email me (via my profile) if you'd like (me) to send:

a postcard (see pics), printed with an image from my epic graphic poem Escape Behaviours, to anyone, anywhere in the world, with a message of your choice or a secret message from me, for $5

a hand drawn postcard to anyone, anywhere in the world, with or without message, for $10
