While cats are supposed to have 9 lives, I think humans must (usually) have many more, judging by the many narrow squeaks I've been in.

I've driven into a class 4 tornado in Texas, and got out of my car in the eye, looked up and seen blue sky, and was narrowly missed by a flying cow; been in an earthquake; been kidnapped by armed robbers; had malaria; gone fishing in a leaky rubber boat and narrowly missed becoming a meal for sharks ... you get the picture.

All this makes interesting background for a writer who j ...more

KUFAR

This is an extract from "Kufar" a novel I am working on right now. It is about Islamic terror in the UK.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Zafir was Yazid's 'gofer'. Hasan had the sinewy build of an athlete, wide shouldered and narrow hipped, while Zafir was a wrestler; legs like pillars, his abdomen plated with muscle. Working out with weights had given him arms to match the legs.
He'd enjoyed helping the Sheikh to deal Read more of this blog post »

No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
