I finally got round to uploading my 'Bullets' poem on myspace, still very much a work in progress, with music by Matt from Atomic Hooligan. Let me know what you think.
Also I feel I should recommend the Ira Glass videos I mentioned in one of my previous posts more fully. I've not come across him before but he is a big radio personality in the US and has a lot of great things to say about story-telling, about a career in the arts and not giving up before you've given yourself a chance to close the gap between the quality of the work you produce, and that which you appreciate. There are four videos, probably amounting to about 20 mins in total. A very worthwhile use of your time if you're at, well, any stage of your career, but especially an early one...
