David Bryant: July 2014
http://davidbryantpoetry.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Monday, 28 July 2014. The version you can see below is the latest version, and whilst I feel that my mind is far too weary of the whole idea to really do anything better with it now, there's no guarantee that I won't come back to this again at some point in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, this is probably as good as it gets. Those colourful talking birds,. Night, fly through the open.

One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Monday, 20 October 2014. Metamorphic Rock at the Chelsea Hotel.

There are some fantastic poets on the bill, all performing new work - these include Matthew Caley, Amy Key, James Trevelyan, Sophia Blackwell, John Clegg, Harry M...

David Bryant: December 2014
http://davidbryantpoetry.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Friday, 19 December 2014. I Can't Believe It's Not Utter! The final London "Utter! At its best always illuminated the broad scope of the poetry circuit. There's a write-up on "Write Out Loud". As we approach the end of the year and pick on the bones of 2014, it's going to be tempting for people to assume that the termination of both "Utter! On the other hand, were usually not to be sniffed at for a ...

David Bryant: September 2014
http://davidbryantpoetry.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Saturday, 27 September 2014. I don't mention music in poetry often - I seem to get most of my thoughts on it written elsewhere, most specifically on the other blog Left and to the Back. So it probably doesn't feel like so much of an itchy area in my brain. This year’s tan has. Faded as rapidly as the. End of a Beach Boys. The holiday was like that –. It built and built ascending. So much it could do.

David Bryant: August 2014
http://davidbryantpoetry.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Wednesday, 13 August 2014. How To Be A Poet And Not Damage Your Dignity. Hello My name's Paul. We've probably not met before, because I've only been trying out my poems on 'the scene' (waves hand airily) for a year or so now, just feeling my way around, you know. Have you been doing this for longer? Christ. I really, really thought you were a new poet, same as me. (Tries to suppress sneer). 1 Promot...

David Bryant: January 2014
http://davidbryantpoetry.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Friday, 31 January 2014. Reminisce (Parts one, two and three). Niall O'Sullivan recently wrote a blog entry. The worst thing that will happen will be that nobody reads it. So here goes. Forgive me for anything I don't mention below, like Poetry Unplugged. By the time I got to university I had already been writing poetry on a regular basis since 1990 and had been published in a few underground fanzin...

David Bryant: November 2013
http://davidbryantpoetry.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Sunday, 24 November 2013. I actually wrote and performed this for a feature slot for one of Kevin Reinhardt's poetry events, then never did it again. It wasn't the intention to abandon it so swiftly, but its Vonnegut-apeing quirkiness probably didn't seem quite as clever to me later on as it did the morning after writing it. These things happen. Don’t try to deny it. Don’t sneer at me. Trapped insid...

http://davidbryantpoetry.blogspot.com/2015/03/due-to-enormous-amount-of-other-non.html
One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Friday, 20 March 2015. Due to an enormous amount of other non-poetry related work in the pipeline, I've been very quiet on the live circuit of late. But. Everyone else, get your diaries out. See you there. And hopefully this is the start of my gig diary starting to fill up a bit more again as I actually give it the focus it needs. Not many poets have agents, you know, and I'm no exception...I wri...

One of those new-fangled writer's blogs for people who like life with the DVD commentary always turned on. Friday, 15 May 2015. The Alarmist - RIP. The front section of issue 5 is taken up with a large essay on how and why the magazine failed to last for more than two years, and it's well worth a read on their website. Anyway, buy issue 5. Monday, 4 May 2015. The Alarmist - Issue 5 Launch - 14th May. I have some rather sad news to report. Issue 5 of literary magazine "The Alarmist" looks set to be th...
