cheeky editions cheeky editions sunday 28 july 2019 some brexit songs you figure it out at july 28 2019 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 23 june 2019 stoning blarney august 2015 in amsterdam we go to a so called irish pub called the blarney stone me being my usual silly self i swiftly decided to write a slightly stoned long poem sequence of course the title had to be blarney stoned since then it has gone through several incarnations until now that i m beyond delighted it s been published in an edition of 20 handbound japanese binding copies as for the rest of the post i ll leave you with what yavanika press said on their fb page we are extremely delighted to announce the publication of our first ever mini chapbook blarney stoned by the inimitable lars palm lars palm is the master of the short poem kicked into high register as his vision roller skates across a linguistic landscape that begin and end with talking talking talking some more palm s blarney is not just stoned with wild visions but is kissed by song lyrics and a hurt caused by a global society that is in need of some ser ious emergency surgery to save itself from its own excesses of injustice and horror but rather than writing a collection of sober proscriptions to cure what ails us the poet crafts poems of humor residing inside the pain blarney stoned is striated with a fair share more than a bit about the anatomy of nonsense we can t ask for more to help us live in these mad times richard lopez poet cover art lars palm all our mini chaps are limited edition so make sure you order your copy before it s too late for details email yavanikapress gmail com at june 23 2019 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 22 june 2019 poets hugging trees it s an uncontroversial medical psychological fact that humans need anywhere between 5 10 hugs a day for their mental physical welfare being a tree by name i can say the same goes for us hence i start this little series on the blog called poets hugging trees with this little example of my own i hereby invite any poets i know to contribute spread the word photo of you hugging a tree a poem somewhat connected to the tree or event to larspalm69atgmaildotcom photo by anka demchikhina tree for a tree on a warm day in poltava that tree told this tree hug me so this tree did at june 22 2019 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 20 june 2019 first poltava photo file as poltava has a university it s not really surprising to find books in public the first ones are old academic tomes piled around a couple of benches in a little parklike square the next ones would lead me to believe that pears have replaced apples as the fruit of knowledge that pose of course there has to be an owl somewhere in town sitting on a few of them trying to look wise just a little stern at june 20 2019 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday 15 june 2019 notes on poltava late monday night i came back from poltava where i participated in the meridian poltava international festival of poetry as the full name of the event is as i just took photos of poltava all photos are used with permission the journey there started wednesday night with a bus from lewisham where i had looked after the kids until 11 ish p m when their mother came home from work 2 buses later i arrived at heathrow terminal 5 at just after 2 a m a bit after 8 we we took off landed at kiev boryspil at 13 30 ukrainian time 2 hours ahead of uk time where i was met by valentina soon we met up with gunnar harding marie tonkin who had flown in from stockholm once we got to kiev we quickly changed money bought something to eat as we were jogging to catch the train to poltava i realised someone had opened both pockets of my backpack i didn t think too much about it at the time but qiuckly closed the backpack in mid stride the rest of that story became a poem 4 a half hours later we were in poltava the hotel they housed us in aristocrat was fairly magnificent a single room that reminded me most of all of a decent sized english one bedroom flat all of us who were present the ones flying in from malmö prague arrived later that evening went off for pizza beer that was that thursday friday morning after breakfast such this young woman with what looks like a sword slung over her shoulder walks up to me introduces herself as anka my personal guide for the festival we proceed to spend 12 hours a day from friday to sunday together i have no complaints whatsoever about that by the way bus to a nearby village called reshetylivka for a couple of readings first outdoors by a burial mound it s me kateryna kalytko marie tonkin i also read the translations of katerynas poems she reads the translations of mine maries as it s early on a working day the crowd isn t massive but does include a rather active goat tethered nearby who actually takes the occasional break in it s running around when we re reading after the reading on the way to lunch i get stopped by a local tv station for a brief interview after a good lunch we get back in the buses to the regional house of culture for a reading by igor pomerantsev yuri izdryk àngela garcia gunnar harding then bus back to poltava for the formal opening of the festival which was very formal indeed after that for the rest of the festival we happily returned to being informal the rest of the friday was dedicated to untranslated events which anka offered to spontaneously translate for me which i declined because i didn t want to wear her out completely so a gang of us went off to eat hang around for the rest of the night that was that friday saturday begins at 11 30 or so with a bus the very short distance to the battlefield the museum concerning it we get a guided tour around the museum interestingly enough giving the perspective of all of the countries involved in the battle at least i should say the english version of the tour after that a reading by kateryna kalytko gunnar harding lasse söderberg running along nicely until lasse had a moment of for him at least in public events unusual frustration anyway there s no big drama the reading flows on nicely until the end another filmed interview then the short bus ride back to poltava then during a break for an untranslated reaing me anka take the chance to go for one of the free lunches as well as dinners the organisers had set up at a cafe restaurant then off to my second last reading of the festival at the regional library there i read with the only really local poet of the festival serhiy osoka first the translations of 2 of his poems then as we were given 20 odd minutes each i did all my translated poems the translations were read by evgenia lopata having time to spare took the chance to promote the end of the world project anthology scroll to the bottom of the page for the 2 volumes as free pdfs or print on demand before reading the tiny final part of my thing in it the audience was surprisingly big seriously interested another barrage of signing of festival programs comments questions about poetry translations languages such as needed they were translated by anka after that we had a few hours of untranslated events so we roamed a bit having a look at the food festival that also took place that weekend fed ourselves as gunnar ann me had made plans to go to a burger joint with some nice outdoors tables in the middle of a pedestrian street at crawling distance to our hotel the next event we planned to attend we went there as the organisers had set up a deal with them for 5 glasses of free wine for the participants neither of the others were there no big deal we had fun enough over each a glass of my allocation around the corner to the theatre square for a concert titled gotland a message to the island composed by victoria poleva performed by a chamber orchestra i was massively impressed by the vocalist nazgul shukaeva the things she could do with a voice during the concert we get word that gunnar has been taken to the hospital is being kept there overnight for observation after that the night ended with an untranslated event so slightly knackered we decided to end the day sunday no more readings for me all about being audience day started 10 30 with a walking tour of poltava which me anka had done quite a bit of but now i got the official as opposed to the real version good to have both word got out gunnar had been released but ordered to relax off to the pedagogic university for a reaing by lasse söderberg àngela garcia this was fun evgenia lopata read all translations lasse was in improvisation mode complete with reddish pink paper heart piano player called in 10 minutes ahead short lunch break then off to the art museum for a reading by igor pomerantsev marie tonkin translations read by lilia shutiak finished off with a somewhat odd q a then a few untranslated events so me anka had time to ourselves the town which she as an old architecture student had some fascinating things to say about just after the igor marie reading my t shirt story got to a nice end so we roamed a bit at 5 i forced her to take an hour off so i could do some grooming having been in the same t shirt in close to 30 mostly sunny degrees celsius for you fahrenheit readers something like 90 since friday morning when i got down 50 minutes later she was lounging in the lobby so we went off for dinner before the final reading of the festival that was out at the white rotunda where you have a lovely view over the majority of the residential area of poltava river vorskla apparently someone tried or succeeded in burning down the stadium of vorskla poltava a decent football team who have been in the europa league burning whole or parts of buildings appears to be a poltavan tradition by the way getting back to the reading as gunnar had doctor s orders not to get upset or excited ann lingebrandt had to stand in for him the other reader was serhiy zhardan who also read the ukranian translations of gunnar s poems to a massive audience by the way gunnar s poems were the ones by him i ve enjoyed most since the books he published in the mid to late 60s slighly miffed social commentary hidden beind comments about poetry poets their perceived place in some kind of society they were from his latest book ann read them with brilliant restraint serhiy read untranslated but i enjoyed the sound rhythm the that he used his hands foot work to roll out the poems then a walk back to the theatre square for the official closure of the festival a concert by a band including the serhiy who had just read at the rotunda called in translation mannerheim line i enjoyed their mix of hiphop punk metal pop group photo as at every poetry festival i ve been a volunteer or participant at after party with pizza wine then all the au revoirs then me anka both being a bit tired walked off to the hotel said our au revoirs such on the stairs monday breakfast check out 9 45 or so minibus to train station for 10 15 train to kiev so forth flew out from kiev boryspil a bit past 8 in the evening in close to 30c a sun starting to set landed london gatwick 9 30 local time in 10c the last of a day of torrential rain a month s worth of it in a day to finish this thing i came across as something of a minor hit probably well translated but also because of the language i write in less dependent on really good translations than the rest of the foreign poets lovely audiences got to know a new town in some depth got to meet a new wonderful person what s not to like at june 15 2019 1
