Last night (or probably this morning) I dreamt I was on my old 204 school bus. I was upstairs sat on the backseat, in the space I inherited from my brother when he left secondary. Every seat was taken with the old familiar backs of heads. An egg smashed on a blue adidas messenger. The window behind me (which was also the fire escape) opened up and one of the lads threw an open packet of crisps at the...

Kelle Groom recently agreed to an interview with myself and 32 Poems . And here is what she had to say. How would you introduce yourself to a crowded room eager to hang on your every word? Are you just a poet, what else should people know about you? I also write personal essays/memoir. For the last year, I’ve been poetry editor for The Florida Review , and have now shifted into an advisory editor...

Arrgggh. I’ve had this cough/sore throat/snot thing all week and it got really bad today so off to the Doctors… I have a test to see if you need to resort to professional medical help in these cases… it’s a simple one. If I can hit the low note in Leonard Cohen’s “I’m Your Man” then [...]

We never thought we'd be writing this sentence, but The Black Heart Procession 's "Rats" sees the brooding, creepily atmospheric band ... getting funky? O.K., maybe funky is too strong a word, but the staccato guitars of the chorus play against the gentle surge of the drums to create a milieu that at least encourages finger-tapping, if not an adventurous toe-tap or three. We keep finding...
