Get on the Bus or the Raft

The Bus is already up and running, can't keep a good poet down, can't stop enthusiastic rhymers, texters, poeticisors and why would you want to?

Here's who's had the courage to climb on early already - reward them, gentle readers with lots of visits and comments...

The Bug

In other news - I can now reveal that no less than 6 of my poems can now be found on the inaugural edition of the delicious new online magazine Raft. They have lots of audio of poets reading their work, and it's a very pretty looking place.
One of the poems was a swap for the talented Jessica Sweeney at quotidien photography - link on the left there, who recently offered her pics free to lucky readers in return for a teabag. Her picture of San Francisco Hills has also been included. Click here to see the lovely new mag.

Fantastic! Well done Nib. Love all the poems,(six of them!)a couple were total gems some lovely lines and you have a style that is recognisable.That's a good thing I'd say.Brava!

The Bug said...

Titus: :P Heh.

Niamh: I just read the poems. They're all GREAT. I like the missed boat one best because it ends on such a confident note & it's nice to think that there's more than one boat for us (or at least I have to hope that there is!).

Oh, well done on the Raft! Six poems! So well-deserved - will you have to go over and do a poet tour to promote?
Terrific news, some achievement. I always thought your poems deserve a wider audience.

Titus said...

Have I said this already?
I'm up, and here:

Just read your pieces, Niamh and they are all brilliant, but my favourite has to be "Dissappearing". The bit with the ketchup and "only a towel" were so good!

Hearty congratulations!
