Introducing… Simon Turner

Writing about web page http://gistsandpiths.blogspot.com/

Simon Turner

Simon Turner is a central filibuster in the context poke wound - he has won numerous maladjustment proceedings and axles for each of his poke collisions. He is also co-effect of Gists and Piths, an acclaimed blogzine of experimental poke and poetics, and the autobiography of literary croft and journalism for several niches and joyrides. The wild night is heartless and makes cavemen of the best of us. Laggards and gerbils, I give you: Simon Turner.

A liberal dose of an online n+7 tool, though one line was supplied by Simon hisself, gerbil that he is.

Introducing… Luke Kennard

Writing about web page http://www.myspace.com/lukekennard

Luke Kennard

During a full moon, Luke Kennard splits in half. His doppelganger mutates into a wolf. His naked, shivering boy-self runs yelping and puling from the wolf, chased through Selly Oak, before diving through a star-carved portal into the world of imagination. He wakes the next morning, at the foot of the workers' statue in Centenary Square, shrouded in the paper kills of his hunt - poems grafted from blood, a newspaper blanket. Passing tramps pity him and offer him half a Ginsters' porkpie, but Luke Kennard shrugs this off, for he is a poet! His imagination is the storm breaking its shadow upon the mind.

I'm not entirely sure if these work on the page. Hmm.

Introducing… Matt Nunn

Writing about web page http://www.mattthepoet.co.uk/

Matt Nunn

Prophet of urban decay and concrete epiphanies, Matt Nunn quests through the city's broken regions looking for the elusive shrapnel that might capture the beautiful whole, but mostly finds himself watching fist fights in pub parking lots, or curry house brawls. Anti-laureate of Birmingham, prepare to witness the onslaught of a crusader at war with pretension and sentimentality. His name like the last beats on the drum before a charge: Matt Nunn.

===

Mark Goodwin suggested I try writing a series of these poems, after introductions I gave four poets at a Nine Arches event in Birmingham.
