Red Poets #32, the latest anthology of radical poetry from Wales, has just been published. Included here are the covers, an excellent intro on the Spanish Civil War by Mike Jenkins, the co-editor, and my poem 'I Do Not Hear It Their Way (aka Why I Am A Surrealist)'. Enjoy!

Another great track. I heard ‘son’ as both ‘son’ and ‘sun’ which was interesting 🤔!

I’d definitely be interested in a ‘Greatest Hits’. I follow you, so I’ll look out for an announcement. Thanks!

John Richardson @johnrichardson9.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Well done, your work deserves wider exposure (I write this in Cymru/Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿!). Any thoughts of a booklet or little book of some works?

That’s good! As for doing well, I had a Pacemaker fitted last week so recovering, but health better thanks!

Good work! Reminded me of a line from Brecht, ‘in the Dark Times will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the Dark Times’. Well, we certainly live in the hard & dark times!

I’m thinking of you doing something with ‘Invincible Sun’ if can I find the ‘right’ image. We’ll see!

John Richardson @johnrichardson9.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

This is great! Interestingly, I misread the title as ‘The Invisible Sun’ and initially misheard the lyric because of this. Da iawn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and keep on keeping on in 2026 - these are Dark Times and we need to maintain our creativity!!

First saw Forest during the 1966/67 season with my Dad - I was 8/9. In the ‘70s at the City Ground too with friends & now follow from my armchair in Cymru & swap notes with my sister in Cornwall! In a phrase that works on many levels - COYR!!🟥⚽️🟥⚽️🟥
