Hola, companeros,
I’ve been contemplating, as I paw through the many submissions we’ve received, how many people there are writing great poetry out there. Also, many writers who I can’t help feeling would benefit from reading more. In my humble dog’s opinion, poetry writing is learned like any other art – by studying, practising and the occasional use of plagarism.
Exciting to read so much good stuff from new writers and writers new to us. I hope you’ll enjoy this issue as much as I have. Don’t forget to exercise your democratic right to vote for your favourite
Not to be missed is an exhilarating showcase of Rain Dog poets in October. Nell Farrell, Avril Heffernan and Suzanne Batty will be reading as part of Manchester’s poetry festival. They’ll be joined by Peter Knaggs, Dai Parsons and Dean Wilson from The Wrecking Ball Press. See the enclosed leaflet for details or visit our website.
Finally, prizes for the best poems in issue 3 were:
1st: Nell Farrell: George Best at Fifty,
2nd: Avril Heffernan: Mr Cut-Throat and the adorable Mr Kiss Kiss and
3rd: Andrew Detheridge: Parking, Not Driving.
Keep the poetry coming
Hasta Luego
Rain Dog.
