Limbo Land

Well I am in a strange place at the moment. I shall call it 'Limbo Land' named after my second 'slim' volume of poetry, so slim in fact, I bet you could read it in fifteen minutes, hence the price, but if you did read it in fifteen minutes you wouldn't be savoring it. It would be a functional read, like having your dinner or taking a shit.
A book is like a DVD, you watch it once, you put it on the shelf, you take it to the charity shop in a couple of years after you have watched it again.

20 poems coming in at £3.59 so that is 17.95pence a poem. Are you getting your moneys worth? A question that all poetry readers ask themselves. Is it value for money?  Well I would say that 'The Arrogance of Golfers' on page 20 is worth 20pence. I actually had to go out and walk across a golf course for that one. It is actually better value than 'Genius Loci' which comes in at 29 poems for £5.99 which is 20.65 pence a poem. Every poem has its price. Imagine if you sold a piece of art for that price, the person buying it wouldn't believe it was 'art' because the artist had undervalued it. So a Poet who undervalues his/her poetry. How can you put a price on Poetry? You see I don't even know whether it is Poetry, to me it is a rag tag collection of angry words, a stream of consciousness and sometimes it rhymes. I published 'Limbo Land' hot on the heels of 'Genius Loci' because I wanted him to have a little friend, someone to play with, similar poems, similar style. More ways to make money but surely there must be easier ways.
