Matthew Paul: Poetry & Stuff

Any journal which nods towards Hawkwind in its subtitle – ‘poetry with strangeness and charm’ – is fine by me. I was delighted when editor Charles Johnson accepted my poem below, and very glad to be alongside Lucy Calder, Lydia Harris, Laura McKee, Pam Thompson and other poets whose poems I admire. The wide lefthand margin in OWP means that the long lines of my poem had to get tucked in, so I’m putting it here as I intended it to be.
