Andrew Marstrand, How to fall in love with poetry forever
Never mind first cuckoos and worms, for David Lawrence, it’s Early Sparring, while Hannah Kate comes up with something colourful in Delaunay’s Dye, and Landon Godfrey writes In Praise of Wax. Todd Swift addresses himself To a god not believed in, J. Ramsey Golden muses on Lovevolve, and Martin Reed is At the Yves Tanguy Exhibition, Quimper. And so, Susan Tepper comes Last, but not least, which is OK, or at least, k. (William Kherbek)…Requirements
Besides poems, and occasionally upbeat doesn’t come amiss, Orbis welcomes prose, 500 to 1000 words, suggestions for cover artwork and features, eg the Past Master Section, or indeed, Past Mistress. 500 to 1000 words; ideas in first instance, not completed articles: subjects for discussion, technical, topical etc:
‘If a critic doesn’t like a book, why review it at all?’
