L&L No.52. Lord Biscuits Volvo 245 is gone. 2014


Lord Biscuit, fabled Bones drummer
lovingly restored car had been nicked. 
This is the story of how he got it back; 
an adventure, a modern myth, 
a harangue against the thieving bastards who 
“leave us in daily fear of losing all our precious things” 
The book is printed entirely by hand 
using large six inch play foam cuts, 
similar to big rubber stamps, 
in white and red ink on black paper. 
It was a labour of love to match Lord Biscuit's
  in restoring his car to its former glory.

L&L No.53. 
Railton Rd, Herne Hill Ends, 
100 copies. 2015

I started writing a poem a day about stuff going on in my street, 
under my nose so to speak…this is a  selection. 
The book is actually a small lidded box containing 
nine separate illustrated pamphlets, 
each one about a specific character or incident.  
Half way through the project my house was burgled…
my laptop was nicked and I lost about thirty of the poems. 
I was strangely disheartened after this but then magically, 
I found a book  -Miguel Street by VS Naipul 
left on a nearby Railton Road wall. 
Each chapter in the book is a story about a separate character 
in the authors Miguel Street home, written in 
Port of Spain Trinidad during WW2. Naipul came from humble 
beginnings and eventually won
 the Nobel prize for literature and lives in nearby Stockwell!  
I took this as a sign that what I was doing, 
the observational, semi documentary nature of it, 
was worthwhile, despite the burglary and other discouragements, 
like my shrinking list of subscribers…

and binds them into a coat,

cycle of lyrics written him,

his view of the world, his friends, 
his journey and the city,

Here is his meagre vittles, but all he meets can share it
and how the one true glove will bind them all, 
for all can wear it.

to make more sense than most politicians.
