The fear of guilt is a powerful attraction towards the unwanted

Posted on Sat, 25 Jan 2020

And nothing ferments guilt like the fear of disloyalty. A circle of fear I guess. I imagine it will be over eventually one way or another. The books are your friend, love them and they'll see you through.

I attempted Ulysses but I was kind...

I will begin working on a follow up today. It may take a while, I'm not the fastest of writers.

You make a very good point about shallowness

So twisted the world. States in the US offer no leeway when it comes to choosing not to give an unwanted embryo life and yet in the same country people want perfect designer babies and reject the rest while there are desparate parents who cherish...

Sorry to butt in Jack (I have been trying to keep up)

Posted on Sat, 23 Feb 2019

My Daughter was born in 1980 in the 'soft south' (Camberley Surrey) and I don't recall my wife having an ultrasound. When she went in labour all they had was sort of microphone thing they put on her tummy which amplified the baby's heart beat,...

cañas work for me.

Pity that the ghost of Franco still hovers over the peninsular. Bit of a worry really,

On re-reading what I wrote I realised that the Belgian fall int three...

Never read Ginsberg, except excerpts from poems

Posted on Sun, 03 Feb 2019

I guess they didn't make an impression. However, I do think I should go back and visit him and Woolf and a few others if I'm going to have any chance of understanding SOC. It's been a long time since I read On the Road and now I can't find my...

Great stuff it's about time we had poems about this problem

Posted on Fri, 04 May 2018
