Lazy old arse. The trick, I’m convinced, to writing a lot is to lower one’s standards. Ego slows you down. As such this year I only wrote one substantial piece of prose, which was misconceived from the start, and which, anyway, was not for public consumption. Knowing, however, that I am a poor poet, I have felt the freedom to be positively prolific in the production of verse. Sonnets predominate. The first couple of poems here were written in the tail end of last year but I claim them for 2023 anyway. Please enjoy.
