Sorry 'bout the delay. I've been in hiding for days due to the fact I've obtained myself a kojak style haircut. Beaker. --- Archel1978@aol.com wrote:

************** hello sinister. yes, i'm afraid i have temporarily deserted you, seduced by the evil corporate power that is Poetry. well, kind of. trousers very kindly obtained some work for me at the poetry society, and i am now in the unique position of being able to tell you all what he keeps on his desk. but i'm not going to. however, i can reveal that his media activity was not restricted to the exalted pages of the independent, but extended to giving an interview on wiltshire local radio with someone called semen (sp?). kept that one quiet, didn't he?
my (digested) contribution to the pop/poetry debate: 1) pop lyrics can be poetic, but they can still work as pop if they're not. 2) pop and poetry are not unrelated, but should not be judged on exactly the same criteria. 3) when the nation voted they were not voting for the most *poetic* song lyric, they were voting for the best one, whatever that means. 4) as it was national *poetry* day, this may have caused confusion, and lots of people to have arguments.
i don't know how many of you read the daily express (2?) but in my new glamorous role at the posoc (ie. while i was filing press clippings) i came across a nice piece about national poetry day which quoted and pictured stuart david. i can't remember what he said now though. perhaps i should leave the task of bringing the world's media to the attention of sinister in nick dastoor's capable hands.
oh, and i filed an entry to the national poetry competition by one tim hopkins yesterday. see, underneath that foul-mouthed exterior lurks a poet's heart. i think he should give it back, don't you?
missing you all,
luv archel xxx
ps: i've just had some very... interesting photos developed. they feature a shopping trolley, a mirror ball and several sinisterines......... watch this space.
