The Hanging Field by Stephanie Bryant Anderson
Though we never stopped, we stared
from the backseat of our car—
our flat-bottom boat—at the body darting
from the end of a rope. I remember the road,
its lines, yellow and broken, the crowd
and a cloud shaped like a hare.
Now the field comes back into view:
I’ve dreamt a horse into the field, or the horse
in my dream came to save me—not
some knight—but the horse,
and I climbed onto his back to keep from
suffocating. But it was more than that—
I was trying to suffocate myself & this crazy
beautiful horse came running into the field
and his wild body kept me from hanging.
In the sky the scent of tobacco paraded,
and the magpies flew their black kites.

The Fall
How prosaic was her fall,
She lost her sock, no great matter at all.
She found it strewn upon the floor,
Oh the banality of it all.
In Praise Of My Local Bookshop
I am delighted to announce that my local independent bookshop, The Bookseller Crow (http://booksellercrow.co.uk/) informed me today that they will stock my book, “Dalliance; A Collection of Poetry and Prose”. I had popped in with a copy several weeks ago and was uncertain as to whether The Bookseller Crow would be prepared to take “Dalliance”. However, nothing ventured, nothing gained and, in this case venturing into my local independent book store paid off. I am excited that my book will soon be available for the people of Upper Norwood to browse and (hopefully) purchase.
“Dalliance” is available in both print and ebook format. For enquiries regarding the print edition please email me at newauthoronline (at) gmail dot com. To download the ebook please go to http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dalliance-collection-poetry-prose-Morris-ebook/dp/B00QQVJC7E (for the UK) or http://www.amazon.com/Dalliance-collection-poetry-prose-Morris-ebook/dp/B00QQVJC7E (for the rest of the world).

A Review Of My Book “Samantha”
My book, “Samantha” tells the story of a young woman forced into prostitution in the city of Liverpool. Can she survive the brutal treatment of her psychopathic pimp, Barry or will Sam end her tortured existence in the murky waters of Liverpool’s Albert Docks?
On checking for reviews of “Samantha”, I was pleased to see that it has received a 5 star review. In a review entitled “Brilliant Short Book” the reviewer writes as follows:
“The characters in this book were bought to life by the way the author told the story. It was like a true scent of this day and age”.
Thank you to the reviewer for their review of “Samantha”. For the review please visit, (http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R90UBPUL6H1OU/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00BL3CNHI).

Infringement Of The DMCA
Occasionally I Google my books to see how they are ranking. Yesterday I was concerned to discover that my book, “Street Walker and Other Stories”, which should be available only in the Amazon Kindle store, can, apparently be downloaded from the following (non-Amazon) link, (http://www.ectechnano.com/street-walker-and-other-stories.html).
I didn’t provide Street Walker to ectechnano.com and have no idea how the site obtained my book. Having researched ectechnano.com it appears that it is considered to be a “high risk” site. I am not sure what action to take other than filing a DMCA Notice with ectechnano.com’s Internet Service Provider (I am reluctant to use the contact form displayed on ectechnano.com’s site). Fellow authors may wish to check whether their works can be found on this site.

A Girl Singing
A young woman sings quietly.
What has been done can not be undone, yet her song continues, words floating on the crisp morning air.
Barely out of girlhood, she sings the song of a man who beats women, her mind filled with dreams of street gangs, “power flows from the barrel of a gun”.
What has been done can not be undone.
Just a girl, late teens, heading somewhere, singing.
Interesting Facts about the Sonnet
I didn’t know that the origins of the sonnet lie in Italy.
A short history of the sonnet form, with some fun facts about its development
Writing an introduction to the sonnet throws out a number of questions, so in this post we will ask what might be considered the essential questions about the sonnet form, and provide some answers. Who invented the sonnet? What form does the sonnet take? These sorts of questions. They actually throw out some surprising answers…

Guest Post Kevin Morris Author of “Dalliance; A Collection of Poetry and Prose”
Many thanks to Sherry Carol for hosting me on her blog. Kevin
I developed my love of literature as a small boy. I’ve happy memories of sitting on my grandfather’s knee as he regailed me with Enid Blyton’s “The Famous Five” and “Grimm’s Fairy Tales”. Being blind it was a real treat to have print books read aloud as I was unable to read the printed word. Later I learned to read braille and devoured the books in my school and (later) college library. I can still recollect sitting engrossed with a battered braille edition of “Palgrave’s Golden Treasury” on my knee. One of the advantages of being blind is the ability to read in the dark and I well recollect reading after the lights had been turned out at my boarding school when I should have been in the land of nod!
Today I do most of my reading on my Amazon Kindle which is equipped with a text to speech…
