Honestly, you people must be conspiring to keep me from getting any work done. Stop being so entertaining!

"Many Sphereans in The Chimaera" -- it sounds like a Swinburne poem! Thanks again to those of the Spherean persuasion who contributed work. The Chimaera has always received terrific support from Erato.

The Chimaera of January '09 will have a section for Light Verse -- whatever the #%$&! that is -- guest-edited by John Whitworth. So sharpen your quills and start penning! The Spotlight feature will shine on Australian poet Stephen Edgar -- you'll find some poems by him in the current Chimaera , and on Clive James' site here

And I too have a modest pub cred -- two poems in the October All-Rhyming Snakeskin, here , one of them -- 'Huh?' -- with a sound file.

LOL! Paul, your reading of "Huh?" sounds like something from a Monty Python sketch.

Congrats to Duncan, Mary and E. Shaun, the other Sphereans in Snakeskin.

Everybody, check out Nigel's villanelle. I don't understand it, but I don't care. I'm always panning people's IP villanelles in workshops, and probably have a reputation for not liking them, but Nigel knows how to milk the form for maximum lilt.

I looked for Nigel Holt's villanelle all over the latest Chimaera, then realized I read the post too fast. It is in Snakeskin! Glad I found it at last, thanks for pointing it out.

PS--
My recommendation: Duncan M's "The Fringe, 1979"--loved it!

That's my fault for going off-topic -- I should have started another thread. Sorry.

No no--the fault is completely mine. You even embedded a link to the Snakeskin...which I eventually followed...(I'm slower on the uptake than normal: we got a dog 3 weeks ago and the cats won't let anyone forget it...they are on 24 hour 'you shall pay for this transgression' active payback duty ...no completely unbroken sleep around here until the cat-sitting-on-tall-piece-of-furniture-taunting-dog {while said dog barks like a fool} middle of the night routine sorts itself out...)

And, besides, it was worth carefully looking over The Chimaera again, it's a great issue!

Ho ho Paul. You are living proof that all art really does aspire to the condition of music It's not as batty as Les Murray's bats but it's close.
Compliment.
Janet
