Thinking of my response.
Members of the poetry establishment often say that contemporary poetry has nothing to say. Poets, please could you draw, photograph or photoshop or scribble something that expresses your reaction to this assertion and submit as a jpeg through my submit button. The results will almost certainly be used in some public way so if you submit something you’re happy for me to use it
Very much looking forward to the physical version, but if you can’t wait get the ebook now!

New Sun Rising, the charity anthology for Tohoku in Japan, is now out for the Kindle!
The anthology is a collection of stories, flash fiction, poems, haibun, haiku and artwork and photography donated by over 60 creators from all over the world to support those in Japan still affected by the aftermath of the 2011 tsunami and earthquake. All monies go the Japanese Red Cross.
Many thanks to the editors Annie Evett, Michelle Goode, Sylvia Petter and Vaishali Shroff for including my three haiku “Three Posters From Japan” in the anthology.
You can also read samples of the contributors’ work in the anthology’s website.
It’s been a while. I have been consumed by words. I had to find myself in them. To own myself. To be able to hear another. I am getting there.
I was going to leave. Then I heard and read some words. Think I will stay a little longer and offer.

Welcome to Decoding Static on tumblr. Here I'll post snapshots of my writing, photography and art.

A little bit about me, 'I write not out of desire to tell stories, but a need to understand who I am and consequently who we are. I view myself more often than not as an outsider, after a long struggle I have found this to be a place where I am comfortable. As an outsider I have developed an interest in the place of the individual in society and the responsibility we need to take for our existence and desired freedom. The behaviours that result from such responsibility or the shrugging of it form the basis of much of my writing, art and photography via the themes of loneliness, love, despair, hope and the individual. I believe creativity is at its most beautiful when it challenges; I want people to stop and think.'
My writing, art and photography can be viewed at Decoding Static.
If you are interested in discussing my work and/or publication or just wish to say hello please contact me via email: decodingstatic@googlemail.com or @decodingstatic on twitter.
