x THE END x
Bang Said The Gun – The Nations Favourite Poetry Event.

There we are… we are on the list, in between a real London Poet and a fake London Poet.

Having a chat with Mr Eccentric before my set.

Shake, rattle and roll…

We all had fun at the Fling!

Lebt in Essex. Erstes Buch ‘Pie and Papier mache’ (2007). Fuhrt regelmassig Poetry Slams durch, wo er selbst auftritt, unter dem Motto: “Fur Menschen, die normalerweise nicht unter Bettdecken schlafen, die aus Gedichtbanden gemacht sind”. Seine Biografie fasst er so: Dan was born in Essex blah blah blah blah…

Which Google brilliantly translate as this..

Lives in Essex. First book, ‘Pie and Papier-mache’(2007). Leads regular poetry slams moderately by where it occurs even under the slogan: “For people who sleep normally not covered by blankets, are made ​​of poems”. His biography, he summarizes this way: Dan was born in Essex blah blah blah blah …

Excellent.

Apparently this is the Google translation…
“An outstanding slam poet, chick magnet, all round nice guy and a large format photographer to show their home, as it is – beautiful, sad, corrosive. Their collaboration is both a declaration of love as a bitter indictment of the down badly shattered England of today and the contradictions of our affluent life”.

I’m in this months edition of Du magazine along side John Steinbeck, Raymond Carver, Robert Capa to name but a few. John Steinbeck’s Mum is really proud. Steinbeck’s Mum has no idea who I am. My mum has no idea who Steinbeck is.
It is a german magazine. I can’t read a bloody word. This is what they said about the work. Ein Slam-Poet und ein Grossformat-Fotograf zeigen ihre Heimat, wie sie ist – schön, traurig, ätzend. Ihre Zusammenarbeit ist sowohl eine Liebeserklärung wie auch eine bittere Anklage an das runtergewirtschaftete England von heute und die Widersprüche unseres Wohlstandslebens. Nice.

Should be fun.
