What Is Poetry?
Introduction This is a precursor to my only poetry reading three years ago that I am resharing for my new readers. Tomorrow I may be reading some of my poetry at an open mic event in Nunsmoor Park, which you can see below. If you are a Vocal member who lives in Newcastle, please come along.

Chips And Gravy With The Bard of Salford
The title relates to the only time I met and chatted with Dr John Cooper Clarke. I am not sure when I first came across him but I remember buying the Rabid EP “Innocents” in the nineteen seventies, which opened with “Suspended Sentence” and then the title song and backed with “Psycle Sluts Part 1 and 2”. I saw him on TV working at a Manchester University doing a good Bob Dylan impression in his looks.

You Think I Am Broken
Introduction This is inspired by my situation on Vocal, the Bouke de Vries work and the Screaming Trees song. I know that for many others, they would have walked away from Vocal, but I am taking it as a challenge. I get the feeling that Vocal moderators and others don't want me here (just my imposter syndrome paranoia), but I know a lot of people do, and obviously, some on Vocal do value me, so I will not be giving up.
