The Runiad – Books 1-19

Rustem approaches the Demon

Books 1-19 of the Runiad, my epic poem-in-progress, can be read here

Unfortunately, since the very sad demise of Denis Boyles, editor of the Fortnightly Review, the review itself is being re-structured and may not appear again until March. So the excerpts published there are falling behind.

So, for readers who wish to follow my progress, the link above brings you up-to-date with where I have got to now.

When the Fortnightly recommences, I will publish links to the extracts.

The contents pages give the page number for each book, and underneath the book is a scroll line. As you move your cursor along it the page numbers come up.

And what you are reading is only the first “fair” draft. The process of writing this poem is one of constant re-reading. Every time I re-read a book I discover things I need to change. In time I hope it will all be honed, but first it has to be “got down”.
