LUPO’s founder-editor has a second collection coming out this autumn, namely The Wrong Ancient Mariner – (and other variant verses).
He writes: “Abandon disbelief all ye who venture into this less trodden left-field of English verse. Prepare to encounter wild parties at Pooh's, Larkin's views on child carol singers and Noel Coward's thoughts on Council Flats. Meet Pam Ayres and her teeth awaiting Judgement Day, John Betjeman as a part-time trapeze artist, and listen to Maya Angelou's inexhaustible Christmas turkey . . . et al.
Hear also from a motley crew of word-smiths including Old Nokomis, Tennyson's garden-phobic Maud, Cleopatra's Executor, Mrs. Polonius, Eeyore, The Bard's Dark Lady and a cheese and pickle sandwich.”
See 'Dreams Of A Perpetual Twelfth Man' In LUPO 63 for a taster.
