Whilst you jump in and out of the history of others
You are all but invisible in your own.
But those quiverings they despised
Far exceeded anything they wrote.
From oil to ink to light to stone
To the Manhattan garbage they placed you amongst.
And you ‘never were a...

Jonnifan the Rabbit: The First Cut Is The Deepest.
We bought ‘Jonnifan’ from a pet farm somewhere in between Nottingham and Mansfield. It was one of those places where you can pick your rabbit out of a whole litter. I surveyed the rabbit family for a long time; they were huddled together like little grey clouds. This is not a decision that can be taken lightly, claiming one bunny inevitably results in rejecting a whole lot of other...

Girls
Broken Dreams Club EP
“A snapshot of the horizon”
Girls have made a conquest. Hovering above their album with this follow up EP they have kicked the aching, sublime soul-searching up a notch. The title track is a plaintive call out for understanding and Owens self-deprecation, his sweet storytelling of love gained and lost is what makes Girls so great.
The band has always erred...

Dear friends in the UK,
The conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch is trying to take over British media with his bid for full ownership of BSkyB. We only have 3 days to tell the regulator why this deal is bad news!
Rupert Murdoch is on a fast track to control over half of this country’s newspapers and television. This week is our only chance to tell regulators to stand up for a wide choice...

In an Artist’s Studio
by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894)
One face looks out from all his canvases, One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans: We found her hidden just behind those screens, That mirror gave back all her loveliness. A queen in opal or in ruby dress, A nameless girl in freshest summer-greens, A saint, an angel — every canvas means The same one meaning,...

Here I stand, ex-student placard in hand amongst a sea of 50,000 students, graduates, lecturers, college pupils, school pupils. There are 2000 odd students down from Manchester alone, who woke up all sluggish at 6 in the morning to get down here for 12. I saw Sussex, Glasgow, Trent, Chichester to name a few. The NUS and the organising bodies, Goldsmiths, UCL students and Kings...

15th September 2010
It was midday and our road was taking us through the Oaxacan state of México. The view from the back of our pickup displayed sheer valleys, whose cloaking mists occasionally betrayed their contents of thick forests and the evidence of recent landslides which are a common occurrence during the rainy season. We passed an increasing number of colourful, jostling houses,...
