I couldn't quite believe it when this afternoon I read the contents page for Friday's
TLS and saw that they were publishing another poem of mine, the sixth they've printed this year alone. "Fear of Lightning" is also one of the most overtly (read "in your face") topical poems I've published (in short, it's on European secularism); I wrote it earlier this year, during and after my visit to the Czech Republic.
Excellent news, Carrie: as I commented at Rob Mackenzie's Surroundings, I really enjoyed this poem, particularly the final verse.
ReplyDeleteAlas, still no sign of my second TLS poem cropping up nearly a year on. Ho hum.
