Poets? Artists?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Was wondering if there's any poets/artists among the HeartLanders. I run a little magazine called 'abridged' (got a thing about that moniker!) based in Derry and am looking for contemporary poetry and art on the theme of 'time'. It's an Arts Council funded mag and its free so there isn't any payment I'm afraid but anyone selected does get a groovy little mag. Poems/Art can be sent to abridged@ymail.com and art should be roughly A3 sized and about 600 dpi (for printing purposes). I'm not the editor so can't promise anyone inclusion but thought I'd give anyone interested the opportunity. In case anyone thinks it's something dodgy past abridgeds have included poets like John Hegley and artists like Willie Doherty. Hope this shameless appeal is allowed!

Now, if you wanted a wee bit prose I could have readily obliged. :|
That said, I've been known to commit the odd act of poetry, so you never know.

Not entirely down with him in his more spleenish moments, but by and large... :notworthy:

Thanks for the plug, QB!

Unfortunately I don't think I have anything on the theme of "time"...

Not that I am aware of.....but check his work out he does Rock Icons and work on the fragility on the human condition.
He also does work for Mr Cope.

I had a print out of a Dr Moody piece framed and perched ontop of my speakers.

Sinse rocking out to a particularly fine record at a perfectly reasonable volume for music of that quality I now have a framed print out of Dr Moody piece sans glass perched ontop of my speakers.
