Many thanks for the generous response, Jim. I'm glad you enjoy the work.
I am hoping to get a collection of the poems and shorter texts together for
next year, ideally with accompanying CD.
In the mean time, there are some newer short pieces on my podcast ( as well
as a full length play in the archive, plus stuff by Lawrence Russell and
Rick McGrath) at:

.html
plus audio ( and articles) on LR's site:
http://www.culturecourt.com
and there's a novel - The Qliphoth
http://www.libroslibertad.ca/book.php?id=2
Despite quite a good review ( in the wonderfully named UK magazine DEATH
RAY) sales have been well, minute, thus far. The chapters set in The Poetry
Lounge might have faint flickers of deja-vu for some readers.
I've been a bit preoccupied with workplace problems for the last few months
at the Royal National College for the Blind, where we're fighting for union
recognition ( and against disastrous redundancies)- see:

so I haven't kept up to date with everything that's listed here in Brit Po,
including your amazing multi-media Vispo site.
Fraternally yours
Brother P
