For the users of this blog...

I use this blog to help me write new poetry.

If the book is published, I delete the old blogs. Then I start a new series. But I may make a selection of the finished poems available in PDF form.

Archeus was written this way. I have deleted the old posts, but a substantial excerpt (the first of its four parts complete with graphics) is here.

Variant Lines was published March 2013 by Red Ceilings Press. It too first appeared on this blog. Get the PDF taster here.

Lives of the Saints mostly appeared on this blog first before it too was published by Red Ceilings Press.
