Influences I like Raymond Carver, Bukowski, Sylvia Plath, Liz Lochhead, the Brontes, JT Leroy, S.E Hinton, Selima Hill, and infact alot of good contemporary poetry, Dorothy Parker, and Sharon Olds . Music wise I love Morrissey, and like Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, 50's girl pop, Portishead, 50's stuff, The Cramps, The Pixies, Nirvana, Hole, Blondie, 80's pap, Kelly Osbourne, and far more things than I'll admit to. I love movies, Hitchcock, Rumble Fish, 80's teen films (Breakfast Club and stuff), Flatliners, Goodfellas, Breaking the waves, Thelma and Louise, the Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club, The Matrix, horror, Adaptation, Woody Allen, Grease, The Truman show, My Life without Me, and basically movies that are either beautiful or feel tangible in some way. I also enjoy immensely practical things sometimes like D.I.Y, cooking and sewing bits of cloth together, badly! When I grow up i want to put Morrissey's cufflinks on for him.
Sounds Like My poems don't really know who their brothers and sisters are. They are outsiders, trying to piece together the world in their own way.

   About angel readman
I am a poet. It is a huge accident, I had years in denial about doing something I always wanted to do, and tried to be practical for along time. I'm at a weird stage where I inhabit a grey area (i.e I'm not unpublished , have had books out with local presses.) Poetry is more than a hobby to me, but i'm not really a performer so it's hard to get the work out there. In 2004 I won the Biscuit poetry competition, followed by the publication of my first full length collection Sex with Elvis. I am very shy and introverted, and this is sometimes a huge hinderance, as a result not many people have read my work . I just try to make it better anyway. I don't think writing is something I had a choice about doing. I'm pretty crap at conversation with people in real life, and sometimes think it might be easier for me to get work seen if I could actually talk to people like normal folk. Thing is, if i was confident and all that stuff maybe I wouldn't have felt the urge to write in the first place! I might have a life, instead of writing about them! In terms of the music with poems,i had the opportunity to work with a musician for the first time, with the Hydrogen Jukebox in 2003. Later I worked with shaun Lennox again, and have found it great to be able to put my poems to music. )I actually hate my voice, and for a long time wished I was posh and sounded like someone else, but I hearing my voice reading poems with music has made me accept it. I haven't included a photo of me here because there are none that I am happy with, but who said writers have to be seen? What I'd like is just to be heard, which is maybe why I write. In 2006 I had a pamphlet out with Ek Zuban, in which my poems appeared in Finnish alongside Finn poet Tapani Kinuunen, and some of these recordings were sketches for a gig to plug the pamphlet (so that's why they sound abit raw.) I'm not a performance poet, and have found it really hard to make myself do readings. Nonetheless, although it is against my natural inclination, I have worked hard at trying to read my poems better.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Sounds really lovely, the way you describe your corner there, Angel. Yes, maybe one day soon, I'll find myself boarding a Cathay (?) flight to Heathrow. I'll have to take a look at some more of your writing soon. Take care and enjoy the nice weather when it does come around!

You have the perfect name for an author. How're things in the U.K.? I was meant to come to London and Cornwall at the end of this month, but (big sigh) looks like I'll have to wait a little longer for that!

I hope things are flowing for you!

ANGEL!!!!!! I am so sorry it took me so long to come read this and comment! This last week was evil and I lost sight of the fact that I had something to come here for. I really like the escalation of this piece and the way it discusses erotic desire. If I had one tiny comment, it would be that I'd want to know more about the binge cause on the part of the man, and, possibly, I'd like to see a partial confrontation since she wasn't enough for him either way--sexy before, risky, or sweet and demure, so maybe I think she would be mad, or more curious--this could be a minor tweak! You have great stuff in here! So sorry I missed it for so long! Not on purpose! Love, H

Hey there fellow pumpkin lover!

Email me an address and I'd be more than happy to surface mail you a few Blue Lakota pumpkin seeds. This is the absolute best cooking pumpkin I have ever encountered.

It has bright orange flesh and a nutty flavor.
