Heartland

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!

i gather our very own laz corp is a bit of an artist...

I only write very bad lyrics. Sorry.

Who doesn't love John Hegley?

me, Johnny Clarke everytime

Ah well, fair enough.

You trying to write a fire under me or what?

What's the deadline?

Dr Moody can paint the joys of psychosis in all your favorite colours.

Ta for all the interest and support. The deadline for submissions is May 30th.

Thanks! I'll stumble through the archives...

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.
Deadlines have been known to bring out the best in me...

Well, you know, just being...diplomatic. It's a character flaw.

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

Thanks for the plug, QB!

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

I know an artist from Hull called Mark Hebblewhite you should have a look.

wasn't he Mark Miwurdz?

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.

By the way, the painting of Lux and Ivy is hanging on my kitchen wall!!!!

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.
