Prestwick by David Hough - Out Now

Three pilots, three crippled aircraft but only one can land. A freak mid-air collision cripples a trans-Atlantic 747 and a US Air Force jet. What’s left of the planes’ crews struggle against the clock and overwhelming odds to save their on board survivors. But no a… Continue

The Weaver's Lament

The Weaver’s Lament ( for Angus MacPhee) His aging hands clumsy with the straws that jerk into the shape of head and arms of his latest creation. If I were you I’d be using old wire not grass, a handful of gravel, some chalk moulding it against some concrete wall. Instead of dancing away like this between sand and arum, a twirling of lines like the nets of a trawler gathering in all the sweet silver off the plates. No I am not you and never will be but instead cling to a windless pla… Continue

Politics - Three Oxford Sermons

( written in 2001 on eve of first Afghanistan war and 9/11) Our Hatred Is an object, a ball of lead shot I carry in my stooping frame. It has grown, layer upon layer, like a stone in the gut each time I see a smug, ruddy faced son or daughter of the shires walk blindfold through these doors. They do not stop, for they carry no guilt. It is washed free of their hands each day by the sure-footed minions who keep the ticking clock ticking, the fountain fed The trout swimming in the moat,… Continue

I'm Pretty Sure That Fog Is The Key

Fog Is The Key Those of you who have followed my writing on Open Salon (as Christo46), American Chronicle or Poets in Residence (both under my full name, Christopher James Heyworth, as on here) will know that I am trying to trace how my love of literature, and poetry in particular, has come about. I've tried to recall the earliest bits of doggerel, but I'm sure that my recognition of what was "poetic" arose relatively soon after I learned how to read in tackling "hard" texts after gaini… Continue

Networking and the Net!

I am easily distracted by, pretty much anything; a butterfly flitting by, the glint of the sun on the window; adorable puppy eyes, etc... I have found a new, delightful distraction...networking on the Net! Poems are soaring into and flitting out of my head, I have found myself delegating them to background noise. Not a very sensible thing, who swats, impatiently at words wanting to join a poem or a story. It is my good fortune that they are persistent. Last night, said words, grabbed me by the s… Continue

Publisher Caitlin Myers to leave BeWrite Books

BeWrite Books Publisher Caitlin Myers will be leaving the company at the end of July to start a new life in the UK. Cait, 35, was one of a trio that brought in the first day of the millennium with a promise to somehow help new authors find their place. She kept the promise ... and then some. Within weeks, she – along with writer/editor Neil Marr and his IT expert son, Alex – launched BeWrite.net, a non-commercial writers’ site that edited, showcased and promoted struggling authors. The site at… Continue

Public Transport

I am not a lover of public transport, but I have to use it. So I jump on and off trains, and buses, Leicester to Loughborough, Loughborough to Leicester, and in tow I have my 15 year old smelly Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The one that passes wind a lot, poos on the station, and screams on the bus. So if you see me, spare a thought, and stand well back. Continue

“LOVE”

What is the experience they call love? And can we ever come to terms with love as a deepest of Mysteries – where only the poet, mystic or visionaries can dare to touch upon love’s hidden pains, losses, & fears? Love knows no limits; even hatred, revenge, fear, loss, emptiness, & anger are only but mere reflections of the shadows of the unreal. But through love we can discard all that holds us back; for eventually, we will be welcomed into loves eternal & everlasting enfoldment. Who c… Continue
