Laws for Honey

Exciting times! I have signed a contract with a publisher for my third poetry collection, which has just been ISBN registered as "Laws For Honey" - it's a large collection, over 90 pages, and all the printing costs will be met by the publisher, naturally. It's been a long time since my last full collection, which was "The Ridiculous Nests of the Heart" back in 2003/2004. Since then, I've written s Read more of this blog post »

Gary’s Quotes

“The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
