Added so many
epigrams,
that I’ve split them into
Science
Islam and
The Usa.
They still look too portentous, though; expect further changes.

Inclement has accepted
It’s My Hands and
I Don’t Visit My Mother’s Grave
for publication in Summer 2K3. I expected all the early replies from my Poetry Library
run to be rejections; the letter was a very good thing to read whilst drinking the morning’s
‘wake–me–up’ coffee.

Battling the daemons of household network administration. I haven’t sussed pf, the
‘new’ Open BSD firewall and NAT.
It should be pretty obvious.
I’ve clearly got some wrong assumptions up top somewhere.

Edited an engineering rush, plus
damn the clarion,
USA, Israel,
the three monks and
what is.
Renamed Holy Trinity as
Epigrams,
adding two more. Renamed fugue as
Fugues.
Never Bury Poetry
confirmed they intend to publish
an engineering rush 3 and
M6.
It’s nice that many of my poems from the ’80s
that I didn’t think were good enough for publication actually are.

Edited
Copyleft and
lord pisswater’s clarion.
I did another poetry library run: I take a pile of unpublished poems,
lots of stamps, SAEs and time, and settle in their working area at the
back, looking through the magazines, attempting to match poems with
editorial styles. The last run, sometime in Spring, was quite successful,
even though I had to persist with some of the magazines to get results.
Here’s hoping!

Good God; last night, in Cambridge, two clashing poetry events,
both packed out.
CB1, now reestablished by Linda, starred John Stammers.
Jo Skelt
(who also paints)
launched her new volume, Permanent Emergency, at CB2. We used to struggle to get CB1 half full.
Something seems to be happening.

Oh wow. A seven day power cut. The 1987 hurricane disconnected for merely eight days.
But this was just a winter storm,
the kind you get ‘every couple of years’
[Met Office]. Aren’t Texan electricity companies wondrous.
