Mark i love your abstruse and melancholic ramblings, cos they're more than ramblings. they are poetry, pure, a collection of language and words that elicit emotion. indeed.

so...instead of having posts imported directly from my poetry site to my main fb page, i decided to start a new page here so that those of y'all who aren't poetry types don't have to put up with my sometimes abstruse and melancholic ramblings.. what'll be here are links to each new post as it goes up at the Tenth Muse,... plus some discussion/background and updates on events & books/publications etc. cheers, joannaRead More
