I bid for this on-line, and I was fortunate to be successful. And for the last 14 years, #PsychedelicStella has lived happily in an alcove - which is a lot longer than Charles' marriage to Stella. I really like #StuckistArt, especially #JohnBourne, #JoeMachine and #NaiveJohn #PhilipAbsolon #Stuckism

The local poetry scene is something I want to cover for @liverpool_noise. And this is a great way to start my research. Hats off to @dancullo for compiling and curating this most excellent compilation! #GivePoetryAChance #Poetry #MerseysidePoets
