Fresh Pistol Tree Poems. and Pistol Tree Poems Refreshed
The latest batch of the Pistol Tree Poems epistolary exchange between Peter Hughes and Simon Marsh are now online, numbers 82-85.
Note that the sequence is one of the range of pages I have been recoding from HTML to XHTML, which should make them more accessible to mobile phones and PDAs (and correcting a lot of earlier clumsinesses in coding). I would be very interested in any feedback from anyone who ever accesses the site from such devices rather than a PC or laptop.

Pistol Tree Poems
The two latest of the Pistol Tree Poems by Peter Hughes and Simon Marsh are now uploaded, taking us from the escape strategies of bivalves on the beach (here, maybe periwinkles for once), to the golden age of Norfolk art — "it's as if Heine were just around the headland / trolling for zander & listening to / some local country music / from the days of Tory happiness / when donkeys wore high hats".

Links Updated, Serials Current, and Plans for Reading Series
All links have been checked and updated, including those on the New Readers Start Here pages, and some additions made to the lists of websites on British innovative poetry.
There are fresh texts in the two serial publications, Richard Makin's St Leonards, and Peter Hughes & Simon Marsh's, Pistol Tree Poems.
Now added to the site is a page listing the upcoming readings and other poetry events in London.
I am contemplating a reading series at Cafe Oto, taking place monthly on a Sunday afternoon: two poets (plus an open mike), possibly some music. Email me or comment if you feel this is either a bad or a very good idea!
