It’s alway exciting to be contacted by about contributing to an upcoming issue of Live Encounters and particularly so this time as the November-December Issue celebrates the on-line journal’s 15th anniversary.
My contribution to this issue consists of three poems from my upcoming collection, The Office of Literary Endeavours, which will be published by Five Islands Press in the first half of next year. The three poems include two of my film poems, ‘Final Reel’ – After Breathless (1960) directed by Jean-Luc Godard, ‘Taking Tea’ – After Cléo from 5 to 7 – directed by Agnès Varda (1962), and another shorter poem titled ‘Consecration’.
