The editor of the zen space (that’s me!) has a new collection of poetry coming out soon, published by Oversteps Books in the UK. The book is entitled I am not a fish, and the collection consists of poems which have never been seen or published before. They aren’t haiku, but are… hmm… how to describe them? A surreal ramble through the psyche in the company of random anthropomorphic figures, including an orang-utan, an elephant, several Japanese beetles, a bat-winged alien with a penchant for the game of cricket, and of course a fish-in-denial.
it will be available, I believe, through various commercial channels, but if you would like one of a limited number of signed pre-launch copies, have a look here. I might even be prepared to include a personal message. We have had to buy copies up front, hence the price might look a wee bit high, but that’s to take account of postage and packing.
Other news – I am just about to set things up for a guest editor for the next Showcase at the zen space. This will be the first time I have tried doing things this way, and I’m excited to know how things will go.

I wish to apologise for an enormous error – please put it down to pressure of work. The Spring 2013 Showcase is not due out until 1st April. My apologies for making people hurry when it wasn’t necessary. However this does give contributors who missed my erroneous deadline another thirty days to work on something. Pressure is lifted all round.
I’m pleased to announce that the Winter 2013 Showcase is now published.
