The taste of milk and honey cloys; the cork on my wine smells of diapers.
The speed of mice's brown eyes is fast but the speed of my gun is faster.

Interview and reading

An extract from my poem Shelf along with a French translation by Oulipian poet, Ian Monk, has just been published in the Swiss newspaper, La Cité. There is also an interview with me and some original artwork by Israel Garcia Montero.

In the good old tradition of poetic back-scratching I will be hosting Ian at the next Poets Live reading on the 22nd November. Paris-resident, Amy Hollowell and former Paris-resident, Megan Fernandes will also be reading. More on all three readers can be found here.

7 billion

These are the sweetest Lucretian days;
the balance of atoms shifts towards man,
who watches, exquisite, as his own ship goes down.
