Wow! Your writing has really taken some new directions this year, Alan. Too cool.
I'm particularly fond of "rain on the river" (R is one of my favorite letters for alliteration), "cloud mountain," and "drifting rain." Not to mention the phrase "toy suns" just rocks my socks.
I hope 2013 is just as fruitful for you.
Cheers,
Aubrie
Thanks Aubrie, your comments are very much appreciated.
Yes I've been writing and studying quietly the last 18 months or so.
Some of this new work has gone into Does Fish-God Know:
Does Fish-God Know
There's a further two collections worth of recent work, including one-line haiku, that will hopefully see the light of day in 2014 or 2015.
kindest regards,
Alan
