I am currently offering mentoring in Writing (prose and poetry), Art, Time-Based Studies (including film, video and installation), Performance Art and Art History.
There is the possibility of showing performances at The Room – but an extra charge of £15 an hour will be applied for hire of the space.
My fee will be negotiable, depending on the needs of the person requiring feedback. That is, if you want me to crit your poem I will do it for less than I will charge for reading your novel.
Tango Tuition is also offered.
Fees may be waived in exchange for gardening services or transport help.
For more details see General Enquiries on the Room website contact page.
Christ! I get so angry with the ignorance that wrings its hands while accusing Russia of attacking that Lavra cathedral in Kiev. It is complete and absolute bullshit that Russia bombed this cathedral. Russia is the defender of the Orthodox faith. Everyone with any knowledge of what is going on knows this. The Fascist tyrant Zelensky has committed a false flag blaming Russia of course, but he has been harrrassing priests and kicking out monks and destroying sacred spaces since 2014. Russia began the SMO to protect Russian speakers from the tyranny which begun with the US/UK orchestrated coup in Kiev in 2014 – guided by Victoria Nuland and her PNAC Nazi organisation. After that Zelensky banned Russian from being spoken and attacked the orthodox religion supplanting it with an artificial and false religious alternative. If World War three begins by us defending Kiev Nazis and Globalist power from the BRICS multi-polar world which is inevitably taking over from the European Colonialist bandits who profit from arms sales and dead Ukrainians, then we will be fighting on newly armed Germany’s side, and we will be on the wrong side of the war and of history. We have a nostalgia for World wars in the UK because we feel we won the last two. This nostalgia is misplaced. In the last war it was the Russians who beat the Germans and the Russians who suffered the greatest number of casualties. Only the banks and the billionaires want war, and use the media they own to lie about what is actually happening; and they are the only ones who will gain from it.
Another piece of evidence of Zelensky’s guilt in the supposed “shelling” of the Lavra is that there are photographed preparations for the staging. The camera tripod and preparations for filming were carried out BEFORE THE LAVRA WAS “SHELLED”. Photos show there is no external debris either, so rather than a shell, it was a device detonated INSIDE the building.
Very pleased that my journal has now had well over 100,000 views and over 65,000 visitors. Thank you everybody. This encourages me to continue evading niches. Most views were for my poetry, then for my art and then for my politics. So it is proof that you don’t have to restrict yourself to one box.
Click on the link to read it. It was written in 1973-74 when I was invited to join the International Writers Program in the University of Iowa. So it was written more than 50 years ago! At the time I was engaged in systemic writing – composers Philip Glass and John White were friends of mine, and I wanted to see if I could do in literature what they were doing in music.
The text is a shortened version of a booklength piece called HOT DAMN – which is now a Heyzine book accompanied by my own drawings – contact me if you want the link to that complete text.
This shortened text was read by myself and two other very fine readers (a man and a woman) at my final presentation in Iowa. Each paragraph had a formula: one reader reading one sentence, the next reader reading two, say, and the third silent. Then there was a different formula for the next paragraph. There was a brilliant recording made of this – but that has disappeared. Dancers accompanied the reading.
