It goes so quickly! With four panelists each with their own agendas and tastes it’s hard to get your point across in as much depth as you’d like. What I’ve learned is that it’s best not to answer the question directly, they’re there really as leaders for you to get straight into the [...]

Greeting blogging faithful. I’ll be on Newsnight Review this evening at 11pm on BBC2. I’m one of the panelists reviewing and discussing a whole range of poetry related books, TV programmes, performances and ideas. The other panelists are Simon Armitage and Josephine Hart, so I’ll have my work cut out for me. I’ll [...] Here’s another new poem from my new show. I’ve performed it a couple of times now. It’s a true story exaggerated. The guy wasn’t really called Mr Blank, obviously. The real Mr Blank is still out there somewhere I do owe him a lot. He gave me a belief in myself. You get the breaks [...] There’s nothing left for it. Someone’s got to sort this mess out. Here’s my catchy slogan: No harassment claims! I already have some ringing endorsements. “I will RESIGN from Britain if it doesn’t happen.” - Johann Hari, columnist and author “You have my full support, [...] Bloody hell, what a mess. Do you remember that episode of The Simpsons, it’s a flashback to Marge and Homer’s prom. Marge goes with Arty Ziff who tries it on too much for Marge. At the end of their date he says: “Marge, I would appreciate it if you didn’t tell [...] I’ve been writing this week. I’ve got a new poem for you all. I haven’t been posting new stuff up here as much for two reasons: 1) Twice now people have stolen my poems and passed them off as their own Still, to hell with it. [...] I had a nice time with Fi and co on Saturday live today. Here are my poems, the first is fairly self-explanatory and the second was in response to a couple who keep the garden of an abbey in Wiltshire, and they do so naked. I’m glad I managed to finally get the word ‘nud’ [...] It’s all change on the podcast this week. Joel’s away on his honeymoon so I drafted in Molly Naylor for this week’s podcast. We had fun. We discussed pomegranate, what Joel would say and the block that lives on my estate that we call Cracky. The new music is temporary, Joel didn’t leave me any [...] Here’s a tip: if you’re lonely on a Friday afternoon why not jump into your car and head down to junction 15 on the M25. You’ll feel like you’ll never be alone again. And I knew this. I know that Friday afternoon’s a shit time to be heading west. For Christ’s sake, [...] Yo blogging faithful - je suis back. I’ve been a bit lazy this week. Well, I say ‘lazy’ I mean .. . well, actually, it is just laziness. I’ve been on a high. It was Joel’s wedding on Saturday and it’s left me all floaty and lovely and happy about life. I’ve got [...] Hey kids, here’s the latest installment of the podcast. Joel and I talk about Scatman John, Jackie Smith and various others things. We’re a bit distracted perhaps, it was recored the day before Joel’s wedding (which was fantastic btw). Don’t loose faith in us if you think this one’s not up to scratch, we realise [...] I’m writing this on a train heading from Yorkshire to the West Country. I’m sitting opposite a toff in a vest. I resent a man in a vest in May. There’s no need to have that much skin of display in public, especially on a train where we’re all squashed in together. He’s [...] Stickers and I return with more mumblings and musings. It’s the fourth one down. This week we tackle poets laureate, the supposed carbon footprint of Google searches and the career of Sandra Bullock. Luke: I like “When you were sleeping” with Sandra Bullock Sal and I went back to baby school yesterday. I have to admit I really enjoyed it this time. There was a lot less moving around and lot more info. It was also nice getting to know the other couples a bit more. Most of them seem a bit older than us, in [...] I went to the new Guardian building yesterday to do an interview and photoshoot for the Observer review, which is out this Sunday. Being an artsy middle class media-savvy tool like I am The Guardian is a bit like the bible to me, so it was nice to get inside its beating heart. The new [...] |
