About me: MS here. On behalf of CK and the rest of the Harper Perennial team, I graciously welcome you to our MySpace page. We are currently at work turning this site into a viable and entertaining literary destination. You may have been sufficiently impressed with our blog, the Olive Reader, but, as is our wont, we aim to do more.
Since this is a work-in-progress, we welcome your comments and suggestions. The encouragement of your friendship is all we ask.
Harper Perennial is one of the paperback publishing arms of HarperCollins, Inc. Which is a global company - so that means Harper Perennial exists...around the globe. So that's cool. Anyway - we set up this MySpace page because we like authors and we like readers. And we're hoping that in our small way, we can put the two together.
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..?
I'm excited to announce the release of my new book, My God and Me: Listening, Learning and Growing on My Journey and it's dedicated web site www.mygodandme.info! I hope to attract lots of visitors (and prospective customers ), so I invite you to visit my site now to learn more!
Please share this info with anyone who might be interested, to help me spread the word.
My debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, has just launched. If you get a chance I'd be grateful if you'd go to my profile to find out more. The story's about Dada, art and artists, and the attempt to instigate revolution by means of art.
Video documentation of a performance piece by my friend Nate Kassel who rode around on his bike slapping high-fives to people who were trying to hail taxi cabs in NYC. Enjoy!
