It's time to add a new page, albeit somewhat unusual.....
In late 2011 I completed a project called "Germination" (A teenage resurrection).
Rummaging around in the detritus of life I came across a long lost book of poems actually intended in the first instance as song lyrics back in the days when I thought I was going to be in a band, typical teenage stuff.
The lyrics had long outlived the very short-lived band but I was struck by their often very bleak alienated content and wondered if they would make a sort of half way house between song lyrics and poems "pongs" without losing the original "feel" they had for me.
I got totally absorbed in the process like I was translating an old papyrus and ended up with over seventy "pongs" in a short but very intense period of work of which I have added a sample here. The overall piece has an almost Gothic horror quality about it, I wondered who the person was who had written them some thirty years before.....
Plus ca change, plus la meme chose?
Anyway I hope you like the taster.....
