Default I am the Voice of my Nation!

Well, not really, but an interview with me is up as the "Voice of America" feature on the new (online) edition of The High Window. There are a handful of poems (with some minor spacing issues) there, too, from my book Lesser Magi.

Check it out if so inclined:

Hey Simon,

So that's what you look like! I really enjoyed this and relate to a lot of it - the folk and punk music, Keats, being technically clueless for a long time. I do like your poetry. How might I buy your book with English money? I don't have a PayPal wotsit...

Thanks, Erik. This month: my country. October: my generation (people try to put us d-d-down)!

Thanks, Mark. Alas, yes, I look rather like that (on a good day). I even wore that shirt last week. PayPal is pretty easy to set up, but I sent you a PM on other ways we might proceed. Thanks for your interest.

I just tweeted this interview @amjuster in case anyone would like to spread the word on social media.

Well, my copy of 'Lesser Magi' arrived at the weekend and it's wonderful! Love, Loss, Death, Rock and Roll, tall tales about Samuel Beckett, recipes for Eggs Goldenrod — it's all in there. Make purchase folks!

Thank you Simon.

Thank you, Mike and Mark! The Harry Potter-level sales I've been anticipating have not kicked-in yet, but I appreciate both the publicity and the response of a real live reader. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book, Mark.
