memories of ourselves
rarely re-read books that meant a great deal to me once, fearing if I did
I might not feel them quite as much, and yet they still remain on my shelves

Guilty Pleasure
I’ll always have a place in my heart
for Agatha Christie because
her books made an unhappy childhood
that little bit brighter.
It’s true she never wrote
a Pulitzer Prize contender,
that her stories are full
of plywood aunts, red-faced colonels,
and such. But she was shrewder than
she often was credited for,
and besides, she not once overstepped
the boundaries of her simple craft.
Pleasures like this might be guilty,
but also innocent, a paradox
that not even Poirot could have resolved.

loved the “just william” books
if I’d been in the outlaws I’d have been douglas or henry, rather than william, or ginger, because, put quite simply, I was never a leader ..

Oak and Pulp
The muses turned polite, demure,
illiterate Tudor wives declaring books
a common thing. And so too pure
their patrons became, casting looks
at plot, suspense, and imagination,
declaring themselves too good
for such base ribaldry. The sleek quotidian
replaced, as pulp was brought from wood
and sold like hotcakes in a cold climate.
The genre tsars grew rich, as oak sellers
became bitter and pondered on their fate,
the bourgeois dearth on lists of bestsellers.
And so they started stealing tropes,
and said of course all great...

Troll
Reading “poison pen” mysteries
from the Golden Age makes
you realise how painstaking it was
to troll someone way back when.
Kids today don’t know they’re born.
In their grandparents’ day you had
to handwrite and make trips to the pillar box,
and keep your wits as wise as any fox…
just so your tongue could be let loose to wag,
and call the neighbour’s wife a slag.

Old Library Books
Sometimes even the most cherished
become something time has perished,
so next time you want a quick look
blow the dust off an old library book.

The Solace and the Self
How often we define ourselves
by what we consume.
Becoming vehicles of the past,
those of us for whom our media
creates that sacred space between
the solace and the self,
the joy that paints the walls
of our abodes.
We settle into grooves.
The music lovers find vinyl,
and some hear only that produced
before the fall of 1962,
and even those who listen more
collect what most accords
with self’s baseline.
The same with books, and films,
and games. We do not all ...
by what we consume.

A Sicilian Romance by Ann Radcliffe (1790)
a book review
This one was a lot more fun than I expected it to be. Ann Radcliffe is one of the earliest Gothic writers, after Horace Walpole’s Castle of Otranto and before MG Lewis with The Monk (which she denounced as too violent). To my mind she’s a better novelist than either, and although I knew I’d enjoy the atmosphere that she creates, what surprised me on returning to A Sicilian Romance is how much I enjoyed the plot. Her characters are notedly one-dimensional and her storytelling tends towards soap opera, with all its romantic intrigues, near escapes, improbable twists,...

Authorship
It can’t ‘ave been ol’ Willy Shakes,
‘e’s just a commoner;
it must ‘ave been the Oxford Earl,
‘im what’s uptight and proper.
Ol’ Mister ‘Speare can shake ‘is will
as much as ‘e shakes ‘is willy,
to impute genius to sons
of glove-makers is still silly.

If I Have A Junk Drawer
I don't
know if I
have a
junk drawer. But if
I do, it would be
filled with a bunch of
vintage
comic books
I have.
