Flea 14, with lots of Sphereans
Here you go, and abundant congratulations to all, and continuing thanks to Paul for his work.
The Flea, Broadsheet 14. |
Congatulations to all! Lots of good stuff here, deserving of more than my first quick reading--but I did especially enjoy Duncan's poem, having seen it evolve here. Special kudos to Tim and Janice, too.
Best, Jean |
What a fantastic issue!!!
|
Yes, Paul scores again!
|
It is indeed a lovely issue. We are all, poets and readers alike, indebted to Paul and Peter.
|
Having a ball reading this!
Thanks for the joy, all of you, and thanks, Paul! Love your reading, Duncan - so good to hear you! And Ann, as always. All round fabulous fleas! Cally |
Hope you all didn't miss this one in The Flea
Not an Eratospherian, but certainly a fine and well-accomplished poet ...
http://www.the-flea.com/Issue14/NuclearFamilyBees.html like so many are (me aside) in the current Flea. What a fine issue this is, a real joy to read. And re-read. I can't tell you how many times I've already listened to Ann Drysdale, Peter and David reading...so good to hear the voices of poets I love. Congrats to all of you in it...I am humbled to be among you all, Les Murray and others. Pat |
Can only agree with what everyone else is saying, what a lot of talent here, both Spherians and non-Spherians.
Pat, you too have written poems that stick in my mind like burrs. I loved esp. the ending of your poem. Actually I could gush profusely all over the screen about all the fine work here, but I have to put my nose to grindstone now and make some money. |
I hope everyone's listened to Ann's reading!
|
Wonderful collection! Ann's reading gave me shivers.

I kind of want Ann to narrate my day.
"And he waters his zinnias with a drip drop drip" |
Congrats to all. I just sent Paul (belatedly) a recording of mine. It isn't easy recording a poem which was intended to sound like a liturgical drone and making it sound interesting (I kept falling asleep while listening to it, which might be a bad sign), and the worst part is that my reading is immediately followed by Ann Drysdale, who would make Dylan Thomas sound boring in comparison. I'm doomed.
|
Great poems and great readings indeed.
Don't worry Michael, I stayed awake reading Hexagrams (to myself - and thinking of the eruv back home), though I'm sure Ann's spine-tingler helped. |
This is a beautiful issue - the titles alone are fun reading. And I love Janice's maze poem -- partly, I admit, because I just like saying "Saffron Waldon."
|
And now for our pleasure, Michael reading Hexagram for us:
http://www.the-flea.com/Issue14/Hexagram.html Wonderful poem, Michael...great to hear you read it...so glad you recorded it. Pat |
Congrats to everyone who's in this issue and thanks to Paul for putting it together. Lots of good stuff and a pleasure to look at as well. Janet Kenny's poem just gave me a jolt, and Mezey's monorhyme made me hum. Editing back after listening to Ann's and Duncan's superb readings-singings: good stuff!
