I had to go for a blood test today: my furthest travel other than the few yards to the sea and back for some time. These caught my eye.

A sympathetic priest heard his confession and provided absolution for what he was about to do.

It was appropriate that The Seldom Seen Kid and Build a Rocket Boys in the Giant General Knowledge crossword this morning led me to Elbow, as an hour later Doug’s book arrived and flicking it open I hit immediately page 14 line 3 “Not so much Elbow (a relatively obscure band)”. An excellent collection to read and to re-read. More than 100 pages of a vademecum cornucopia of how it is, why, and who does it. I don’t know where you’ll get a copy except from Primary Writing Books, 2009 Belmont Road NW, Number 203, Washington, DC 20009. ISBN 978-0-9837679-1-6 $15.

Two Italian poets I like are Francesco Giusti (also a visual artist) who lives in Venice, and Pier Franco Uliana who lives further north in the Veneto, towards the alps. Both write in their local dialects as well as in Italian. Both are published by what we would think of as small presses, with little distribution. Somehow I am reminded of the poems of Ralph Mills and G.F.Dutton, two English-language writers I also like. The two books here by Uliana have little “web presence”, though Guisti’s Accanto ai denti dell’eterno can be found here. Ingens Silva was published by Aucupis Editiones, Mogliano, Veneto, Italy in December 2007 (no ISBN number): Pizzoc Panopticon by Dario De Bastiani Editore in 2012, ISBN 978-88-8466-259-0. It can be found, with a few others of his books, on this Italian bookstore site.

NOTE (June 7th. 2013) There are poems and extracts from Pier Franco Uliana’s books here on this site.

The government had initially argued that all liabilities for the torture by colonial authorities had been transferred to the Kenyan Republic upon independence in 1963 and that it could not be held liable now.

(The UK government is to apologise and pay compensation to those tortured during the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya in the 1950s.)
