Toby, it's a girl called Hannah, I used to e-mail you about how when I grew up I wanted to be a writer.

I am doing the down and out in London (but sadly not Paris) thing soon, I am getting transferred from hometown Tesco to city of London Tesco, and then I will be getting eight quid a week only, once my rent has been paid.

Hoping to find freelance work (yeah right). But thought I would let you know that despite financial hardships I bought H & I. Please don't rush out J - Z until I am a millionaire and can feed my addiction.

I haven't started I Play, only what I've read of it in previous publications. But Hospital IS so brilliant. It has all the glittering creepiness of The Shining and is so well crafted.

You're a genius, etc! :)

Hi Toby!

I just discovered your work by reading DEADKIDSONGS (in France, the title of this novel is GANG).

Anyway, I was really impressed. I just loved this book!

I liked the way you used the different points of view of the different characters, and I really enjoyed your style. Besides, the dialogues are so wonderfully written that I wasn't really "reading" these dialogues, but I was hearing to them, like if I was there, with your characters, listening to them.

And the story really moved me. This is one of the best novel I've ever read about childhood.

I was just dissapointed by the very last chapter, but that's all.

And this amazing novel would do such a great movie, because you write in a very visual way!

I can't wait to read your other novels! I'm glad. I'm always glad when I discover a great novelist.

our winter seas

1.

you are searching for
a four-leaf clover.

we are looking for
a peaceful night
to take over

and i am waiting for
my portland lover.

i am waiting for
my portland lover.


2.

all our winter seas.

all our winter seas
hover over;

they howl over.


all our winter seas
cower over

and all our winter seas
clamber over

and all our winter seas
haggle over;

they howl over.


3.

hush,

turn your back on your abyss,
we are golden chrysalis;

a miraculous potion
of magical notion,

golden, golden chrysalis,

the dreaming ocean
in pirouette motion,

golden, golden chrysalis,

one, pure emotion
trod with devotion,

golden, golden chrysalis;

hush,

place our lips upon our bliss,
we are golden chrysalis.


4.

all our winter seas.

all our winter seas
ping-pong over;

they pass over.


all our winter seas
cartwheel over

and all our winter seas
comet over

and all our winter seas
paddle over;

they pass over.


5.

i am waiting for
my portland lover.

we are looking for
a peaceful night
to take over

and you are searching for
a four-leaf clover.

you are searching for
a four-leaf clover.
