And that they do, the bastards, their lies falling like beastly blossoms piling up around our swollen hearts. I love hearing the poem, but crave to see the words, the body of the piece. I always record my poems, and include the link under the poem; check it out http://bibliosity.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-scrivener.html

thankyou !! poetically …I love the rhythm of the lines and the repetition…great …but of course more than that…being Irish myself…the agony that whether north or south and whichever foot you kick with…they always lie to us!! Great Kevin.

Beautifully read and the multimedia presentation works very well. The iterations were hypnotic and underlined the irony and sadness. Thanks so much for joining us.

I really enjoyed the combination of audio and visual mediums. You have a great reading voice: clear with a beautiful accent. The theme brought thoughts to mind of Orwell’s newspeak and airstrip one.
