For the A to Z competition I sent in both of my 156 word pieces. I put my name and address at the top and stipulated that the second of my entries was to go under the name of Fergus Pickering. Fergus Pickering can also be found in The Faber Book of Blue Verse as the translator of some rude bits of Latin and Greek. Fergus HAS won the odd competition though not, I think, at the same time as old JW. I have a female alter ego, Phoebe Flood. She sends poems to Myslexia and stuff like that. I don't think she's won anything. I don't make a very attractive girl.
