A poetry pamphlet has arrived for May Day

And here is the factual information that came with it.



As well as cracking poems the pamphlet includes a rather touching history of Peterborough's Fantasy Fairs, which ran from 1992 for over a decade. And, as usual, Cardinal Cox's sense of humour is on display, along with his erudition and fascination with the arcane. I won't quote from 'Sasquatch Porn', but I had a chuckle. Instead, here's 'A R'lyeh Limerick'.

Old Deity Cthulhu
Who was well known as one who
One day would awake
Set oceans a-quake
When stars' alignment was true.

'Schalken the Painter' by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

A reading by yours truly of one of the all-time classics. I hope you enjoy it!  I'm told my voice sends people to sleep so maybe try it ...
