I know - you were thinking exactly the
same thing – a poem is definitely the solution...
Government conferences don’t seem to
work. International agreements are ignored. Whaling and deforestation and
dumping and chemical contamination and melting ice-caps and car pollution seem
to be madder than ever –
So what we need is a 22 minute audio-poem/story
to sort it all out. And I just happen to have one here.
Casey and the Surfmen is an environmentally
themed piece which only took TEN YEARS to bring to fruition (for heaven’s sake) and I am selling the
audio download for £1.
Really if you think of it in poetry terms £1 is a fortune. Poets
are supposed to be penniless and romantic and die in attics of TB so a decade’s
sweat and tears for a quid is actually a bounty of riches.
Trust that I will spend wisely.
Casey and the Surfmen is a “spoken word treat”;
“an exciting, beautiful, ominous story which celebrates the united actions of
ordinary people, inspired by magic, mystery and the truth remembered from
childhood”.
“Enchanting, lyrical and highly
topical! Certain to engage and delight children and adults alike”. Pam Gresty (ex-head teacher, Yorkshire)
“Casey & the
Surfmen sifts through the sands of time and finds the child in us all” Oonah Joslin Poet / Editor
Northumberland
Regular readers of this blog will know that I am a Luddite,
as afeard of technology as rabbits are scared of foxes and Tories are scared of
UKIP. (see blog- 53 - I suffer from PANTS). Do not fall off your chair then
when it is revealed to you that there is a website for this new venture. And no
– obviously I did not do the website. Thank you Chrissie. Also Thanks to
ex-punk Gary for doing the recording/editing and background music.
Click on the ink and do check it out -
And do please purchase a download.
Ten year’s work and three downloads and I can afford a coffee!
