The Runiad – images for books 12 to 15
Book 12 Charybdis
Book 13 The Lost Pleiad
Book 14 The Tree-Man
Book 15 Millstones
The Runiad is my work in progress – an epic poem which will comprise 24 books. Fair drafts of all books so far completed (1-15) can be found on this Heyzine Link.
THE RUNIAD – Books 1 to 14
Extract from Book 11 in the Fortnightly Review here. However the editorial of the Fortnightly is relocating and there is a delay in publishing extracts from the most recently completed books. When the links to these extracts are available I will publish them.
As a work in progress Books 1-15 can be read for free as a Heyzine online book.
On the Heyzine link there is a contents page – p 5. All the pages are numbered and so each book has a page number. At the bottom of the page is a horizontal scroll bar – use this to get to any specific page.
On the Heyzine page, I suggest turning off the sound and enlarging the text. Pages can be turned by clicking on the arrow at the foot of the page to the right, while clicking to the left turns the pages the other way.
Of course I am still at work, re-reading previous books, improving what I have already got down as what seems my first clean draft of any book appears pretty rough-hewn after a while.
I am also pleased that the Heyzine book has now attracted over 1200 readers. So I’m sending out a big thank you to these readers. It is definitely encouraging to know that I am being accompanied as I continue my journey.

Is Keir Starmer a British Intelligence Asset?
Very interesting sleuthing by the Grayzone
The Grayzone’s Kit Klarenberg examines the history of British PM Keir Starmer’s involvement in British intelligence operations, and his role in the prosecution of Julian Assange.
According to Lowkey, Keir Starmer sat on the Trilateral Commission alongside two former directors of the CIA at the same time as serving in Corbyn’s shadow cabinet. The CIA has a history of monitoring Corbyn, and Mike Pompeo stated clearly that they would stop him from coming to power here.

How the UK Security Services neutralised the country’s leading liberal newspaper
Read this 2019 article on The Guardian here.
The article came out in Declassified UK – A well-researched expose of how this paper became the tool of MI6.
Brilliant sleuthing by MATT KENNARD and MARK CURTIS
I used this article as a source of Book 11 of my epic poem The Runiad – attempting to put it into verse!

Reviews of The Ogre’s Wife
I am very grateful for the reviews I got for this book, back in 2010. Thanks to Ian Gregson, Luke Kennard and Rachel Allen. As one gets older, it’s easy to feel forgotten about and unacknowledged, as the ambiance changes. But re-reading these reviews makes me feel much better. They can be found on my website here.
I also remember with fondness reading the title poem for a workshop on poetic form at the invitation of Kathryn Maris. The only time I have been invited to a poetry workshop this century! So I am very grateful to her as well.

Abstractions published on Heyzine
I have published a selection of my abstract writings as a free Heyzine online book here
I have been engaged in writing liberated from any deliberate attempt to convey a meaning since the 1960s.
I consider as ‘abstract’ my writings and paintings which are generated by some conceptual or plastic process – such processes may suggest narrative or figurative possibilities but these are incidental rather than deliberate. The paintings which accompany these poems are not intended to illustrate the text, rather they are juxtaposed with the text, and any connection between text and image is again incidental. I feel that my notion of abstraction is a reversal of a modernism that moves away from the figurative into abstraction, a reversal of language departing from narrative to find release in syntax. Rather, I begin from some chaotic concept, then allow accident and inconsistency to take me wherever the poem finds its route, which may well prompt a sense of meaning. I readily invite the reader to invent the ghosts of stories, glimpses of scenes discovered by the process. (Prefatory statement)
*****
‘For many years, Anthony Howell has been unspooling his mad and lovely poems in England, yet has somehow managed to be not famous (I just checked). Is it because “I am trying to become an abstraction; something you read your own meaning into,” or “Don’t want to promote content. Want to be discontented,” or is it “To exist by telling the truth is an impossibility.” Whatever. Meanwhile, welcome to his wide, wild world…’
John Ashbery
This selection is published as an accompaniment to the Grey Suit edition of my Collected Longer Poems. Online publication allows me to include a selection of my paintings.
This book can be purchased at tangoshiva on ebay.
