'on the cusp of greatness' by mark waddell will be published on 7th April by Valley Press.
The London launch will take place on 30th April 2016. More details to follow... money sounds like
to the billionaire money sounds like the barely audible whisper of a sexual offer from a stranger overcome with the scent of wealth the whir of rotar blades the perfect splash of perfect waves against a perfect yacht the cushioned thud of a private-jet landing on a private island’s private runway the hummingbird flutter of mulberry silk underwear floating down onto a $4.5m persian isfahan rug and the roar of rocket engines as the space-tourist space-craft hurtles towards mars whilst to the poor money sounds like another world. This sunday 5th July - its the Alma Street FAIR, Kentish Town, London NW5 - fun and frolics from 12 noon till 7pm.
Food, art, beer, clothes and jewellery stalls galore - and especially glorious in the predicted sunshine!!! Plus music stages et al... I have been invited to strut a few poems on the Grassy Knoll...no idea when but come on down and take it as it comes... we are all statistics
‘we are all statistics’ noted the statistician as he stood on the beach explaining to the gathered children that his cells would stretch to the sun and back 61 times and his 10 pints of blood would be enough to feed a 100 colony of vampire bats for 20 days and his 32 teeth if made into an axe would be able to chop through 13 feet of silver birch wood before they broke and he would of course have been able to work out the chances of becoming the first collector and interpreter of numerical data to be killed by a suicidal seagull if only he had known. |
