You see Dave, that's the problem - we have no Book Doctor here - it's a fuckin' postcode lottery & I blame unchipped immigrants, according to the local paper. Maybe I could bring the caravan over your way & get a consultation - how are the waiting lists? - maybe a defibrillator smacked against the squirming draft of "3 Variations on a Theme of My Swollen Loaf" which I've been struggling with here, with NO SUPPORT.
Luv, Peter

Ah, Peter, I'm glad to hear from a Happy Poet. If you're ever not so, or your mind suddenly collapses and you don't know what to read next, come to this neck of the woods where you can visit:
(it's a shame they're also closing the Central Lending Library and jamming it and the Music Library in defiance of the laws of physics into the same space already occupied by the Reference Library but it will have a cafe added so there be lots of Happy Readers as well as Happy Librarians)
PS I understand that in Derby they plan to show videos of local performance poets on the big screen in the city centre - just the ticket for your shopping experience, eh? I wonder if that's happening elsewhere, who knows, hell could be closer than we think?)

A little snapshot of what exciting and visionary cultural times we are having here in the Midlands. I'd like to emphasise that in no way do the trailblazers of this brave new world, that hath, well, something in it, resort to excluding people who don't agree with them.
Long live the Arts Council. Long live capitalism with a politically correct face.
