which above is now ready to leave the yards, if not yet fully fitted, and is available for the eyes of the curious or casual perusal via the link at my new Home Page addressable either through: www.paintstuff.20m.com/index.htm or http://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.bircumshaw/index.htm Issue #2 includes poetry by Andrew Duncan, Jill Jones, John Anderson, Patrick Herron, Tim Allen, Robert Hampson, Ian Davidson, Mark Weiss, Harriet Zinnes, Dominic Fox, Brian Fewster, Kent Johnson and Richard Dillon, several of whose sets are of a sizeable proportion, and too outbreaks of creative prose from Alison Croggon, Robin Hamilton and David Bircumshaw (including a secreted poem from Ms Croggon) while other delights include doubtful photographs and hints of reviews to come. The non-existent profits from this free of charge creative fest are destined for the fund for the relief of its editor's eyestrain. Which editor is particularly proud to present a retrospective of the late John Anderson's work. Phew!
