Sin Cycle in E·ratio
Peter Kenny
Happy new year! I already have enormous amounts to be thankful for this year. Chief of these is the editorship of Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino, the editor of E·ratio Postmodern Poetry Journal based in New York. Gregory’s own work, as I have written about here is extraordinary, and challenging and should be explored. E·ratio itself…

Get your TRUTHS here
Peter Kenny
I wanted to post this link to the Telltale Press site to get your copy of TRUTHS: A Telltale Press Anthology. Crammed with exceptional poets, this anthology is Telltale’s swansong, edited by Sarah Barnsley, Robin Houghton and I. Lovely to be able to finish the Telltale project on a high.

Telltale Press finishes on a high
Peter Kenny
Robin Houghton and Sarah Barnsley and I co-edited TRUTHS: A Telltale Press Anthology, and we had our big launch. All kinds of marvellous poets who were in the anthology came and read. Sarah, Robin and I introduced the night and also read. Our guests were amazing. It was emotional, as we are wrapping up Telltale…

Poetry omnivore
Peter Kenny
For me, it’s all been about poetry so far this year. Sarah Barnsley, Robin Houghton and I have been putting together an anthology from Telltale, about which there will be more news shortly. Meanwhile I’ve been editing my own 24-poem, pamphlet-length collection, and have been lucky enough to receive excellent advice and a good deal…

A pre-Christmas ramble
Peter Kenny
My double life requires me to switch from working in advertising agencies, back to picking up the threads of my creative life and vice versa. My most recent agency stint was with a lovely crew at DDB Remedy in London, which culminated in six days in Austria. The work was a bit full on, however,…

Precious time
Peter Kenny
I’ve spent the last couple of months with little time. I’ve been commuting to London to work in an advertising agency every day (a four hour round trip). The Gods of Freelance then added in more work for me to do on the train, and in the evenings and weekends and through holidays. By chance this coincided with one of…

Make 28th April a date for poetry in Lewes
Peter Kenny
There will be one of Telltale’s splendid reading in Lewes at the end of the month. Super talented Telltale pals Sarah Barnsley and Siegfried Baber, plus Sussex-based Marion Tracy, whose book Dreaming of Our Better Selves, I find distinctive and unusual. I’m looking forward to hearing more of Katrina Naomi’s work too. We have a great time at…

A new play, poetry and other news…
Peter Kenny
I have been a bit AWOL from cyberspace this summer. A blissful two weeks in the south of France with my wife. I had been using Duolingo to try to refresh my French before I went. Not that the French I was trying to refresh was any good in the first place. However I tried to…

The Interpreter’s House, a home from home
Peter Kenny
Since meeting Martin Malone, editor of The Interpreter’s House, last year at a reading we were giving in Lewes, and hearing him read excellently (and pyrotechnically as his folder of poems accidentally caught alight) I have finally got my act together to become a subscriber. In fact I tend to share my limited subscriptions budget around among…
